The National Alliance to End Sexual Violence (NAESV) is the voice in Washington for the 56 state and territorial sexual assault coalitions and 1300 rape crisis centers working to end sexual violence and support survivors. NAESV educates the policy community about federal laws, legislation and appropriations impacting the fight to end sexual violence. Its team of experts and advocates, donating time away from their state and local groups, publish written analysis, track legislation, provide media interviews, and advise members of Congress and the executive branch. Through our Sexual Assault Services Training and Technical Assistance Center, we respond to the needs of local programs, sexual assault coalitions, funders, administrators, and allied professionals to help meet survivors’ comprehensive needs. Focus areas include the Victims of Crime Act, American Rescue Plan relief funds for rape crisis centers, housing needs of survivors, and prevention.
