Public Policy

DVAC is sought after for its perspectives on a variety of things… One of them is Public Policy and System Reform.

With continued vigilance and devotion to strengthening a system that is effective and responsive to the needs of those survivors and island families who rely on it for support, DVAC works within the community to offer ideas, review practices, make suggestions.

It is our belief that this work needs everyone’s attention. There is a role for every sector to play. Many voices and collective spirit will bring about change. It always does. If you would like to submit your online testimony, please click on the link below for instructions:

We encourage your support of several bills in 2023 that will favorably impact survivors (adults and children) who have suffered the harm of abuse. We will post them as they come. Thank you for your support. Stay tuned…
