The Virginia Sexual And Domestic Violence Action Alliance

The action alliance operates a 24-hour statewide toll-free hotline (phone/chat/text) for survivors of sexual and intimate partner violence as well as an lgbtq helpline that responds to sexual violence, intimate partner violence and other forms of violence and harassment perpetrated against members of the lgbtqia+ community, including hate violence. The action alliance also contracts with the virginia department of corrections to provide a confidential phone line for individuals in state correctional facilities who have been impacted by sexual violence, a partnership that is considered a best practice for compliance with the prison rape elimination act.

In addition to providing training, technical assistance and resources to the prevention programming within our member agencies, the action alliance partners with statewide groups and with communities to plan and implement effective prevention education campaigns and activities. Prevention initiatives also include partnerships designed to address root causes of sexual and domestic violence.
