We are running out of time and we need your help.

Since its establishment in 1995, the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) has transformed how our nation responds to domestic violence, s*xual assault, dating violence, and stalking. OVW’s funding, training, and federal leadership help communities protect survivors and hold abusers accountable.
There’s still so much more work to be done — and we want to do it. That’s why we need you to help us keep OVW the strong, independent agency that Congress created.

Please call your representatives today to oppose this administration’s plan to collapse OVW into other offices.

Yesterday, the Safer Communities Legislative Workgroup released its final report at the Ohio Statehouse.

OAESV has participated in this workgroup alongside Rachel Baker for Ohio, Senator Blessing, Ohio Domestic Violence Network, Ohio Network of Children's Advocacy Centers, and other partners looking at how Ohio can strengthen its response to domestic and s*xual violence.

We’ll be watching what comes next and continuing to advocate for systems, policies, and resources that support survivors and strengthen s*xual violence prevention and response across Ohio.
