Help Bring National Awareness to the Issue of Sexual Assault

NAESV provides a critical voice for sexual assault advocates in Washington, D.C. In 2008, NAESV has been a key player in securing federal funding for the Sexual Assault Services Program which provides valuable funding to the rape crisis centers as well as state and territorial sexual assault coalitions which assist victims. NAESV staff have also successfully fought off attempts to raid another important funding source for victim services - the Victims of Crime Act - and worked to make sure that provisions in the Violence Against Women Act of 2005 address the needs of sexual assault survivors.

This success is owed entirely to the generosity of those who have made donations to NAESV. Please Act Now and fill out this donation form to support the needs of sexual assault advocates across the country.
