SCCADVASA is a statewide coalition of all domestic violence shelters and rape crisis centers in South Carolina. Since 1981, we have been an advocacy leader in representing the critical needs of survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.

Our dedicated staff works to make the community aware of issues, problems, policy and legislation regarding Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault. Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault is a public health problem and a community problem as well as an interpersonal one. It destroys relationships and households, and has adverse effects on everyone who lives in the home, including pets.

SCCADVASA supports Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault member programs, provides education and advocates for social reform to eradicate interpersonal violence in South Carolina.
