OUR WORK
Every US state and territory has a designated sexual and/or domestic violence coalition. Some are single issue coalitions while others are dual sexual assault and domestic violence coalitions. The Oregon Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence is a dual coalition comprised of the voices of Domestic and Sexual Violence (D/SV) service organizations and Tribal D/SV service programs across the state of Oregon.
We provide critical support, training, technical assistance, legislation, and craft policies in our efforts to amplify survivor voices and work towards healthy communities where all thrive.
OCADSV PROJECTS
Technical Assistance and Training
We provide responsive, high-quality training and technical assistance to strengthen the capacity of organizations and professionals serving survivors. We offer in-depth workshops, interactive webinars, and tailored agency-specific support on topics such as trauma-informed practices, safety planning, crisis intervention, shelter management, and survivor advocacy. Whether you’re building foundational skills or expanding advanced expertise, we’re here to support with tools, resources, and knowledge.
ANNUAL CONFERENCE
We host an annual conference which brings together advocates, service providers, and community leaders from across Oregon and the US to share knowledge, build skills, and advance the work of ending domestic and sexual violence. With a focus on fostering collaboration, inclusivity, and intersectionality, the conference offers dynamic workshops, inspiring keynote speakers, and networking opportunities.
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
We believe everyone should have access to money, housing, childcare, and education so they can make the decisions they want to make about their relationships free from the worry about financial impact.
PREVENTION
Our prevention team supports the coalition’s work to stop domestic and sexual violence before they happen. Grounded in public health principles and guided by community-driven policy and research, the team works to support programs in promoting environments where all thrive.
POLICY AND RESEARCH
