Other Special Projects

NNEDV has a number of other special projects that focus on supporting leadership, building capacity, and changing the way society responds to domestic violence, with the goal of ending violence against women. NNEDV special projects address a wide range of issues impacting victims of domestic violence and the communities and agencies that support them including:

• HIV/AIDS & Domestic Violence Project

  As of 2010, NNEDV‘s new HIV/AIDS & Domestic Violence Project is working to systematically address the unique challenges and barriers facing HIV/AIDS-infected victims of domestic violence by:

  • Partnering and collaborating with national, state and local HIV/AIDS organizations to explore the intersection of domestic violence and HIV/AIDS;
  • Providing technical assistance & training opportunities to both domestic violence and HIV/AIDS service providers to share best practices, lessons learned, and model programs that address HIV/AIDS and domestic violence; and,
  • Developing and disseminating critical resources to both fields on the co-occurrence of HIV/AIDS and domestic violence including strategies to best address challenges and barriers when both are present in the lives of survivors.
  This project is made possible through a grant from the MAC AIDS Fund. For more information, please contact Mao Yang or Michelle Pender.

• VAWA Implementation Project

  NNEDV collaborates with U.S. state and territorial coalitions to assist states and local communities in the implementation of the U.S Violence Against Women Act, and provides state and territorial coalitions with the latest information about VAWA programs, policies, and legislative changes.

• Women of Color Leadership Project

  NNEDV works to enhance leadership opportunities for women of color, particularly in the areas of program development, management and policy advocacy.
