Yearly Data Reports

Each year, we compile and publish an Annual Advocacy Data Report that highlights the impact of our statewide network of sexual and domestic violence agencies. These reports provide a comprehensive look at the services delivered, the needs of survivors, and emerging trends in the movement to end sexual and domestic violence in the Commonwealth. By tracking this data, we help inform policy, guide funding decisions, and strengthen our collective advocacy for a Virginia where all people are safe, seen, and supported.
