Since its establishment in 1995, the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) has transformed how our nation responds to domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking. OVW's funding, training, and federal leadership help communities protect survivors and hold offenders accountable.

VRLC and other survivor-serving organizations rely on OVW funding to bring critical resources to the communities we serve.

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.

Do you know how to keep kids safe while gaming online?

Our free virtual panel, The Online Playground, is now available to watch, along with accompanying resources for parents, caregivers, educators, and advocates. Share it with friends, family, and colleagues who have kids in their lives who play online games.

Last month, VRLC Executive Director Stacy Malone was recognized as one of Women2Women 20 for 20 honorees at a celebration in Boston marking the organization’s 20th anniversary.

For 20 years, Women2Women, a program of Empower Peace, has equipped rising young female leaders from around the world with the skills, connections, and opportunities to become leaders in their communities and beyond. The 20 for 20 celebration honored 20 outstanding women who have helped shape the program throughout its first two decades.

The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) was established to address the unique needs of survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking through specialized leadership, expertise, and funding.

VRLC joins survivor-serving organizations across the country in opposing a proposed Department of Justice consolidation that could weaken that dedicated approach.

Take action today. Share this post with your network and call your U.S. Senators and Representatives to urge them to oppose the proposed consolidation and protect the Office on Violence Against Women and the vital work it supports.
