Institute on Domestic Violence in the African American Community (IDVAAC)

The Institute on Domestic Violence in the African American Community (IDVAAC) was formed in 1993, when a group of scholars and practitioners informally met to discuss the plight of the African-American community in the area of domestic violence. The group ultimately agreed that the “one-size-fits-all” approach to domestic violence services being provided in mainstream communities would not suffice for African Americans, who disproportionately experience stressors that can create conditions that lead to violence in the home.

IDVAAC focused on the unique circumstances of African Americans as they face issues related to domestic violence, including intimate partner violence, child abuse, elder maltreatment, and community violence. IDVAAC’s mission is to enhance society’s understanding of and ability to end violence in the African-American community.

IDVAAC closed in September 2016, but the information on this website will be available for review for the next 10 years. Moving forward, the new organization is Ujima, Inc.

Though IDVAAC is not formally together, we can still do consulting. For details, please contact Dr. Oliver Williams at 651-331-6555. His email is owms63@gmail.com.
