The Giant Strides Undertaken By NAESV To End Sexual Violence
Sexual violence is devastating. The pain is felt not only by survivors but also the government of the nation.
Economically, the estimated lifetime cost of sexual violence has a negative impact on the economy. This gives reason why both private organizations and the government work hand-in-hand to arrest the situation.
The Formation Of NAESV
NAESV (National Alliance to End Sexual Violence) was born as a measure against the foreseen threat of withdrawal of assistance received by national anti-sexual violence organizations from the prosecutors, the police, and the federal government. The leaders of these organizations teamed up with popular national advocates and local rape emergency centers to form the alliance that is NAESV today.
This makes up for support in the event that government stakeholders in particular withdraw their support and contributions.
This Mission Of The Organization
The primary mission of NAESV is to give a voice to state coalitions and local programs in Washington. NAESV provides resources and support to these programs organizing and advocating for sexual violence and survivors.
As a body with responsibility to end sexual violence, NAESV educates the policy community on the federal laws and legislation. The team of experts that the body boasts of, give their all to the service through publications, making themselves available for media interviews track legislation and give necessary advice to the Congress on what they can do to help in the fight. As a prominent organization in the forefront of the fight against sexual assault, NAESV has a good rapport and healthy relationship with national anti-violence groups. {NOTE TO DEVELOPER: kindly link”Fight against sexual assault” to the article title, #3 “RAINN: The Largest Anti-Sexual Violence Organization Disappointed With DeVos Title IX Decision”}
