The Sexual Violence Law Center (SVLC) is a nonprofit legal organization dedicated to providing free, trauma-informed legal services to survivors of sexual violence. Its mission is to advance justice, equity, and healing for survivors by addressing systemic barriers and advocating for survivor-centered legal protections.
SVLC typically pursues policies that strengthen legal protections for survivors of sexual assault and abuse, expand access to civil legal remedies, improve victim rights enforcement, promote trauma-informed practices within the justice system, and enhance institutional accountability in areas such as education, employment, housing, and privacy.
The organization is primarily funded through foundation grants, government grants, private donations, and individual contributions.
SVLC collaborates with survivor advocacy organizations, civil rights groups, legal aid organizations, and public agencies focused on gender-based violence prevention and response.
