Domestic Violence Coalition on Public Policy |
The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) is a 501(c)(3)not-for-profit organization founded in 1990, based in the District of Columbia. It is a network of state domestic violence coalitions, representing over 2,000 member organizations nationwide. National Network to End Domestic Violence works to address the many aspects of domestic violence.
National Network to End Domestic Violence performs legislative policy work with all three branches. National Network to End Domestic Violence has been called to testify before the U.S. Congress on domestic violence issues to assist state coalitions in better serving the needs of the victim by presenting research on domestic violence issues for pending legislation.
National Network to End Domestic Violence works proactively with Congress to make ending domestic violence a national priority.
National Network to End Domestic Violence's members are state and territorial coalitions representing domestic violence shelters and programs in every state and territory in the nation. They work closely with the state and territorial coalitions to understand the ongoing and emerging needs at the local and state level, and then ensure those needs are heard and understood by policymakers at the national level.
Ensuring the funding of domestic violence programs remains a continued concern. National Network to End Domestic Violence's policy efforts also focus on gun violence, the technology sector, and economic and financial security.
National Network to End Domestic Violence worked for the 2013 reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. Violence Against Women Act closed critical gaps in funding, ensuring all domestic violence survivors receive services.
National Network to End Domestic Violence participated in the Office on Violence Against Women conferral process, sharing information about Violence Against Women's Act's impact on the field, gaps in the federal response, and challenges and successes of implementation.
National Network to End Domestic Violence also participated in stakeholder meetings about the implementation of Violence Against Women Act's Campus SaVE provisions and worked to ensure that the negotiated rule-making committee considered, in particular, the needs of student victims of dating abuse and stalking, as well as the confidentiality and safety needs of student victims. National Network to End Domestic Violence also communicated the same messages to the White House Task Force on Campus Sexual Assault.
