ADWAS provides comprehensive services to Deaf and Deaf-Blind victims/survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking. ADWAS believes that violence is a learned behavior and envisions a world where violence is not tolerated.

ADWAS was founded in 1986 and is located in Seattle, Washington. The ADWAS model has been replicated in 42 Deaf communities across the United States.

ADWAS established the nation's first transitional housing program, "A Place of Our Own." We are committed to providing accessible and safe housing for Deaf and Deaf-Blind women and their children.
