The Center for Survivor Agency and Justice is a national organization dedicated to enhancing advocacy for survivors of oppression-based intimate partner violence. CSAJ seeks to promote survivor-centered advocacy by enhancing the work of attorneys, by organizing communities, and by offering leadership on critical issues facing survivors and advocates throughout the nation.  CSAJ strives to enhance advocacy by cultivating a community of attorneys and advocates who are skilled in survivor-centered advocacy and capable of meeting the entire spectrum of civil legal assistance needs of survivors through their own advocacy and in partnership with others.

What attorneys, advocates, and survivors are saying about us…
"This was an outstanding conference. Thank you for the thoughtful considerations about how to improve our representation. I learned a tremendous amount about my own advocacy by listening to others. Thank you for presenting survivor perspectives and encouraging us by their healing.”

 “This was an excellent conference. Advocates and attorneys are a team and must work as such for the safety and welfare of the survivor. I think attorneys came with one perspective and advocates with another. I hope some of the gap was bridged.”

“The survivor-centered interviewing exercise was the most relevant/helpful interactive small group session I’ve ever participated in for a training.”

“The teleconference gave me an action plan for how to implement and instigate major change in my community.”

“Nearly two years ago, I was introduced to a small, but amazing group of women at the Center for Survivor Agency and Justice who are hard at work helping attorneys and advocates across the country to provide the best possible representation to survivors of domestic violence.  I have seen first hand how valuable the efforts of CSAJ are in strengthening the advocacy of attorneys and advocates.  Why is the work of CSAJ important to me?. . . I am a survivor whose life has been enriched through the work of CSAJ.”

“This training changed my whole perspective about working with survivors and safety planning.”

“I have learned so many new things.  I have information to change my advocacy work and to train others.”
 
“The hands on trial advocacy was superb.  I have never participated in such an effective institute.  The faculty was top notch and impressive.  They truly cared about us and wanted to see us succeed."
