The Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence (The Alliance) works to prevent and eliminate sexual violence in our state through education, legislation, advocacy, trauma-informed care, and a state-wide network of support for victims and survivors. Together, we are working to end sexual violence in Connecticut.
We believe that sexual violence is a preventable public health epidemic, we believe that we can make things better, and we know that we are stronger when we work together. Our work is possible because of a network of member centers and our impact is amplified through partnerships across the state.
Sexual violence can happen to anyone, so The Alliance is here for everyone. We believe survivors. Sexual violence doesn’t discriminate, so neither do we.
