justice is truth in action
Our mission is to improve and innovate pathways to justice for survivors of intimate partner violence and abuse. We work to reduce and prevent systemic traumatization of survivors while creating opportunities and strategies to achieve what justice means to them.
-
survivors
Whether survivors seek justice through traditional legal and procedural processes, or turn to broader avenues such as advocacy, philanthropy, and establishing nonprofits, RAV provides tools, strategies, information and resources to support their journey and improve outcomes.
-
responders
A multitude of professionals across disciplines such as healthcare, law enforcement, attorneys, human services, community direct services, social work, and education, come in contact with victims of IPV. How they respond to them in their official capacity can greatly help or harm that survivor. RAV provides training + technical assistance, strategy, information, and resources to any professional who may come in contact with survivors to reduce and prevent secondary trauma to the victim and to increase positive outcomes for survivors.

society
RAV engages in education and awareness initiatives to promote systemic and societal change.
