Center on Violence Against Women and Children

Created in the Spring of 2007, the Center on Violence Against Women & Children (VAWC) exemplifies the land grant mission of Rutgers by engaging community partners from the academic, corporate, nonprofit, and government sectors to collaborate on different projects. The four components of the center's work include research, continuing education, MSW education, and community facilitation.
