Delaware Alliance Against Sexual Violence

The DAASV, founded in 2019, is a statewide, nonprofit organization that serves as Delaware’s

federally recognized state sexual assault coalition. The DAASV’s mission is to address sexual

violence in Delaware by creating an inclusive community throughout the state to support

survivors through advocacy and intervention. The DAASV provides a voice for victims of sexual

violence, sexual assault programs, victim service providers, and advocates. Through public

education, training and technical assistance, and advocacy on the behalf of survivors for policy

changes, the DAASV serves as a critical hub for resources and information on sexual violence.

The DAASV is a newly formed organization with plans to engage in a variety of activities focused on

changing the societal conditions and attitudes that contribute to sexual violence. These activities

will focus on public education efforts, training and technical assistance, prevention and policy

initiatives and systems advocacy. In order to create the most effective policies and programs for

survivors, the DAASV will collaborate with the criminal justice, health care, education, advocacy,

and social service communities to facilitate critical networks for social change.
