Vision Statement:

We envision a world where gender- based violence is unacceptable, where perpetrators are held accountable, and victims receive the compassion, support, and justice they deserve.

Building Community Goodwill by Establishing a Proactive Position to End Violence Against Women

Start by Believing is a public awareness campaign uniquely focused on the public response to sexual assault. The goal is to change the world, and outcomes for victims, one response at a time.

For more information on how you can launch a campaign, please visit our Start by Believing website.

Technical Assistance:

With support from the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), EVAWI provides technical assistance on the law enforcement response to sexual assault and VAWA forensic compliance

You can also find information in our Best Practices and Forensic Compliance sections of the website.

Please note that we cannot provide on-site training.

Also, our grants are limited to adolescent and adult victims of sexual assault (not child victims).
