NNEDV works to make domestic violence a national priority, change the way communities respond to domestic violence, and strengthen efforts against domestic violence at every level of government. As the membership organization of the 56 state and U.S. territorial domestic violence coalitions, NNEDV's work with our membership and the almost 2,000 local domestic violence programs they represent informs all of our initiatives across multiple disciplines and programs.
Domestic violence is devastating. According to the CDC, about 47% of women and 44% of men in the U.S. have experienced violence from a partner during their lives. Worse, domestic violence disproportionately impacts people already experiencing discrimination and challenges, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, People of Color, people with disabilities, immigrants and refugees, older people, and people living on limited incomes.
When you support NNEDV, you strengthen our work across multiple disciplines including: Advocacy work, the Safety Net project, Transitional Housing, Coalition Capacity-Building, HIV/AIDS, Economic Justice, the Independence Project, the annual Domestic Violence Counts Report, the WomensLaw Email Hotline & WomensLaw.org. At NNEDV we believe that, working together across different sectors and from all different angles, we can create a world where domestic violence no longer exists.
Your support makes our work possible, whether we're organizing against dangerous court rulings that allow abusers to own guns, raising awareness during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, or supporting our field team in the work they do each and every day to improve outcomes for survivors, their families, and their communities.
