In 1998, five Deaf women from Massachusetts traveled to Seattle to learn about sexual and domestic violence in the Deaf community. Shortly after, Our Deaf Survivors Center, Inc. (ODSC, Inc.) was established as the first and only advocacy resource specifically for Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals in Massachusetts.
