More than 40,000 women and children received life-saving, life-changing services at a Missouri domestic and/or sexual violence program last year alone. For 29 years, the Missouri Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence has worked to make sure that women and children who are suffering are able to access the quality services they need to become survivors. The Coalition also serves as a voice for programs at the state and national levels to advocate for women and their children, and to improve funding sources, public policy, systems and responses to domestic and sexual violence.
