About ACESDV - The Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence was originally founded as the Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence in 1980, so that concerned citizens and professionals could unite in a statewide organization to end domestic violence.  In 2013, the coalition became the designated dual coalition to address both sexual and domestic violence in Arizona, thus becoming the Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence (ACESDV). As the leading voice in Arizona’s movement to end violence for 45 years, ACESDV works to eliminate sexual and domestic violence by centering survivors, advancing equity, and challenging the root causes of violence through advocacy, prevention, education, and policy change. ACESDV represents a network of service providers, advocates, and community partners across Arizona who work directly with survivors. With over 250 members, our collective voice includes domestic violence shelters, sexual assault crisis centers, legal aid organizations, healthcare providers, tribal programs, and law enforcement agencies. We also partner with businesses, government agencies, educators, and individuals who believe in our mission and want to make a difference.
