National Alliance to End Sexual Violence

The National Alliance to End Sexual Violence (NAESV) is the voice in Washington for the 56 state and territorial sexual assault coalitions and 1500 rape crisis centers working to end sexual violence and support survivors. NAESV utilizes a comprehensive grassroots advocacy network to shape national policy related to sexual violence and survivors’ needs, ensure funding for rape crisis programs and sexual assault coalitions, and providing expertise to governments, businesses and non-profit organizations addressing sexual violence in all of its forms. NAESV educates the policy community about federal laws, legislation and appropriations impacting the fight to end sexual violence. Its team of experts and advocates publish written analyses, track legislation, provide media interviews, and advise members of Congress and the executive branch. Through our Sexual Assault Services Training & Technical Assistance Center, NAESV responds to the needs of local programs, sexual assault coalitions, funders, administrators, and allied professionals to help meet survivors’ comprehensive needs.
