While WOCN is a project of the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence, WOCN is nationally regarded as a women of color-led initiative because:

1. WOCN leadership, staff, and WOCN Advisors are made up exclusively of women of color.

2. WOCN programming and issue areas are generated and inspired directly from its women of color constituency as a part of continuous dialogues, surveys, and programming conducted around the country.
