Each year, #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving grown from a simple idea — generosity. We're so thankful for the recent contributions to our Survivor Legal Services Fund.

We know that our programs need resources to continue this important mission of increasing safety for those impacted by violence and to protect the rights and lives of those at risk. 

We also know that sexual and gender-based violence is a hidden consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. We need to be prepared to safely respond to people currently in danger as well as those that may come in a resurgence of the pandemic in the coming season.  


Because of your support, we can imagine a world free of sexual violence.
