Legislation and Policy Advocacy

In collaboration with its members, agencies, advocates, and other coalitions, NYSCADV monitors proposed national, state, and local legislation and regulations affecting victims of domestic violence and their children. NYSCADV educates, trains and advises members and other advocates on legislative and policy changes and process, and encourages our members communicate with their legislators.

We also provide input to various agency policies related to survivors and domestic violence programs, as well as participate on committees and work groups that address a variety of social justice issues.
