National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) is an organization founded in 1978 in Washington, D.C. with a goal to “organize our collective power by advancing transformative work, thinking and leadership in communities and individuals who seek to end violence in our lives.” The organization not only focuses on domestic violence in the home, but also society-wide violence and factors which perpetuate violence against women and children alike. Over the years multiple corporate sponsors have joined up with NCADV to provide funding for the organization's services.

Famous quotes containing the words national, domestic and/or violence:
“In my public statements I have earnestly urged that there rested upon government many responsibilities which affect the moral and spiritual welfare of our people. The participation of women in elections has produced a keener realization of the importance of these questions and has contributed to higher national ideals. Moreover, it is through them that our national ideals are ingrained in our children.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“If the minds of women were enlightened and improved, the domestic circle would be more frequently refreshed by intelligent conversation, a means of edification now deplorably neglected, for want of that cultivation which these intellectual advantages would confer.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“Under all conditions well-organized violence seems to him the shortest distance between two points.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
