Disability 101

The MIA Institute

The MIA Institute was developed and created by the Miami Inclusion Alliance.

The mission of the Miami Inclusion Alliance (MIA) is to learn about the intersection of disability and domestic violence and/or sexual assault in order to promote a culture of inclusion within and between all collaborating agencies.

This Collaboration will implement the necessary changes so that persons with disabilities who are affected by domestic violence and/or sexual assault have access to services.

The four collaborating agencies are MUJER, CVAC, Dade Legal Aid and Disability Independence Group Inc.

Our vision is that every agency that serves victims/survivors is accessible, and safe, and promotes dignity and respect.
