Peace Over Violence is a Los Angeles–based nonprofit addressing sexual and domestic violence, intimate partner stalking, child abuse, and youth violence. It offers a comprehensive set of services—emergency response, intervention, prevention, education, and advocacy—delivered to clients in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language. The organization serves Los Angeles and 22 cities in the West San Gabriel Valley and frames its work as part of the broader field of individual and family services. Founded in 1971 by feminist activists, POV aims to build healthier relationships and communities free from violence, combining direct services with efforts toward social change and social justice. As a mid-sized nonprofit in the region, it balances service delivery with broader community impact. In 2023, it formed a partnership with Thrive Causemetics to support its programs.
