- Peace Over Violence is a social service non-profit agency dedicated to the elimination of sexual and domestic violence and all forms of interpersonal violence. Established in 1971 as the "Los Angeles Commission on Assaults Against Women" (LACAAW) the agency provides crisis intervention services, violence prevention education to area youth, and case management and counseling services to survivors of violence.
The evening honored the following individuals and corporations who have made a difference in the struggle to eliminate violence against women, men, youth and children:
