At NYSCADV, our work is to create and support the social change necessary to prevent and confront all forms of domestic violence. We do this by providing training and technical assistance for local domestic violence programs across New York State, working with communities to change our culture into one that doesn't condone violence, and advocating for policies to make sure that survivors across our state are provided the support they need to get safe and heal.
OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE
The collective voices of survivors and advocates, as expressed through the Coalition, will strengthen public and private response and prioritize domestic violence as a human rights issue.

News & Events
June marks LGBTQ+ Pride Month, a time to celebrate the vibrant diversity and resilient spirit of the LGBTQ+ community. As we adorn our streets with rainbow flags and come together in solidarity, it's essential to reflect on the multifaceted journey towards equality and the ongoing challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals, including the intersectionality of domestic violence within the community.
Juneteenth, celebrated as Freedom Day, stands as a poignant reminder of the end of slavery in the United States.
While we observe Juneteenth, it's imperative to recognize the ongoing struggle for racial justice in the United States. While strides have been made, systemic racism persists, underscoring the necessity for continued efforts to ensure dignity and respect for all individuals. Juneteenth embodies the fortitude of the African American community amidst adversity, urging us to persist in the pursuit of justice and equality.

This week is an opportunity to raise awareness and take action to recognize the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. The National Day of Awareness on May 5 is a day to honor the lives of those who were abducted or murdered and to acknowledge the staggering number of cases that remain unsolved.
