Mission Statement: The mission of the project is to ensure victims have access to readily available services without any re­strictions. Often times. victims are forced to remain with their abuser because the abuser is their provider of basic needs. The EGVAP in collaboration with Mis­sissippi Coalition Against Domestic Violence (MCADV). Mississippi Center Against Sexual Assault (MCASA). and other community organizations are working to provide victims a “one stop shop” for services. Our hope is that victims become empowered to speak up and out about their circumstances and take back their lives. We want to remind victims to “Let Your Voice Be Greater Than Any Fear.”
