“Throughout the last 18 months, we have witnessed the incredible resilience of advocates at New Hampshire’s crisis centers as they worked tirelessly to pivot services to meet the changing needs of survivors and respond to the shadow pandemic of domestic and sexual violence in the wake of COVID-19,” said Pamela Keilig, Public Policy Specialist at the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence. “This past year has introduced a host of new challenges, while simultaneously adding to the barriers that many survivors face in accessing critical, life-saving services in their greatest hour of need. However, we must recognize that we are living in a sustained pandemic that will have long-term, ripple effects and continue to shape how we move forward as a state and nation to address violence in our communities. We are grateful to Congresswoman Kuster for her unwavering support for survivors in New Hampshire and her ongoing commitment to ensuring that advocates have essential resources to meet the needs of survivors throughout the Granite State.”
