Virginia Sexual & Domestic Violence
Action Alliance (VSDVAA) is a non-profit agency dedicated
to raising awareness about sexual and domestic violence,
increasing public access to resources and services, offering
opportunities for professional development and initiating
legislative and policy change that will bring Virginia closer
to our vision: a world where relationships between people
are respectful, healthy and safe.
The mission of the coalition is:
The Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance
is a diverse group of individuals and organizations that believe
that ALL people have the right to a life free of violence.
We recognize that sexual and domestic violence are linked
to other forms of oppression, which disproportionately affect
women, children, and other marginalized people, harming individuals,
families and societies as a whole.
We will use our diverse and collective voice to create a
Virginia free from sexual and domestic violence—inspiring
others to join and support values of equality, respect and
shared power.
