Native American Partnership to Address Sexual Assault (NAPASA)
The purpose of the Native American Partnership to Address Sexual Assault is to ensure access to justice and a respectful, appropriate response to sexual assault against Indigenous people in Oregon.
In December 2006 the Indian Country Work Group changed its name to the Native American Partnership to Address Sexual Assault (NAPASA). The work group will be referred to as NAPASA in all future publications and communications.
The Native American Partnership to Address Sexual Assault was formed at the request of Indian Country advocates and the Indian Country Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Violence to address sexual violence on Tribal land and among urban Native populations. Current priorities include:
- Developing a culturally appropriate sexual assault curriculum for Native communities.
- Identifying funding sources to provide support to NAPASA members/staff.
