DC Coalition to End Sexual Violence

The DC Coalition to End Sexual Violence (DCCESV) was founded in 2016 and is stewarded by MCSR. As the federally designated state sexual assault coalition for Washington, DC, DCCESV is a community-informed collective of service providers and allied professionals that seeks to enhance the capacity of organizations and agencies to strategically partner and effectively meet the needs of sexual violence victim-survivors in the District through education, training and technical assistance, advocacy, and policy. DCCESV achieves its mission by promoting effective alliances, extending leadership and advocacy on issues identified by members and stakeholders, and providing resources to direct service providers to facilitate the work of our esteemed membership.

The Coalition’s vision is that all victim-survivors in the District receive timely, competent, and high-quality care. Our core values include utilizing an anti-oppression and intersectional lens, working collaboratively, acting with integrity, prioritizing transparency, upholding victim-survivor centered and trauma-informed approaches, and addressing sexual violence through public health and public safety lenses.
