The New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence is a statewide network of independent member programs committed to ending domestic and sexual violence. To that end we seek to:

• ensure that quality services are provided to victims/survivors of domestic and sexual violence;
• prevent future violence by educating the public;
• influence public policy;
• and encourage the provision of services for perpetrators.

The N.H. Coalition is comprised of 14 independent programs throughout the state that provide services to survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. Their services are free, confidential, and available to all victims regardless of age, race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, physical ability or financial status. The services include:

• Emergency shelter and transportation
• Legal advocacy in obtaining restraining orders against abusers
• Hospital, police, and court accompaniment
• Information about and help in obtaining public assistance

We recognize that violence and oppression are connected. We promote social change by holding societal systems accountable for their responses to domestic and sexual violence, and through the empowerment of victims.

The Coalition assists its member groups by providing technical assistance and training, and support in developing new programs, and by serving as a statewide clearinghouse and coordinating organization. It administers state and federal contracts that provide funding for its member programs. Additionally, the Coalition advocates for public policy reforms that affect survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
