Public Policy

At OAESV, we provide many services, including training for advocates and preventionists, technical assistance for local programs, systems advocacy, public policy work and much more.

Our vision is to end sexual violence in Ohio and beyond, and survivors are always at the center of that work. We work toward this vision with an anti-oppression, intersectional perspective.

As the state’s coalition, we work to ensure that rape crisis centers and victim service providers throughout the state have the
resources, capacity, and training they require to meet their community’s needs.

Overview

OAESV’s Public Policy Team works closely with local rape crisis programs, other national, statewide, and local advocacy groups, survivors, and elected officials to develop long-and short-term public policy objectives and advocate for policy change.

OAESV develops and implements strategies to support the passage of laws and budget resolutions necessary to achieve those objectives. Our team reviews legislation introduced every year, identifies priority legislation, and tracks this legislation over the course of a legislative session. These bills range from addressing sexual violence and human trafficking; stalking; issues relating to family law, intimate partner violence, and child abuse; judicial matters; privacy and confidentiality issues; healthcare; economic and social justice-related issues; and more.
