Sponsor international nursing conferences to link researchers, educators, providers and advocates who work in the area of violence against women. Network at other major conferences attended by nurses, especially those that focus on women's health and issues of violence.
The abuse and exploitation of women is a social problem of epidemic proportions which adversely affects the health and quality of life of millions of women each year. The Network’s ethic fosters the ideal of nursing practice designed to provide assistance and support to women in the process of achieving their own personal empowerment. The ultimate goal of NNVAWI is to provide a nursing presence in the struggle to end violence in women’s lives.
