About SOAR
Sisters Overcoming Abusive Relationships (SOAR) is a nationally recognized task force of the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence made up of survivors of domestic violence. Formed in 1989, SOAR is the only group in Rhode Island specifically working on systems change that consists entirely of survivors, and is a leader among similar groups in the nation.
SOAR’s mission is to promote, advocate for, and work towards the elimination of domestic violence and to embody and give visibility to the voices of abused women.
Media Guidelines
SOAR members help raise awareness and educate the public about domestic violence by bravely sharing their stories of surviving abuse. For more information about SOAR’s media advocacy, visit soarinri.org.
