We Are Stronger Together!

Please pardon any broken links while our website is under construction.  Join our mailing list and follow us on social media to stay in touch and hear about upcoming events! This year has reinforced what we have always known to be true — we are stronger together. We find strength in our coalition membership, our partnerships, and our shared commitment to safety and justice for all. Together, we’ll prevent the conditions that foster sexual and domestic violence and replace them with the means to create a world free of abuse.

We work with our coalition members and a host of public and private partners to create policies and explore innovative solutions that improve the lives of survivors. We seek to prevent sexual assault and domestic violence by changing the lens through which people view the experiences of survivors and by promoting safety and justice for everyone. Our work complements the life-saving and healing services provided by our community-embedded coalition members from the Berkshires to the Cape and everywhere in between.

Our Impact

JDI has been at the forefront of this work in Massachusetts for decades, changing the way society views and reacts to sexual and domestic violence in ways that make our communities safer today and for future generations.  We’ve come a long way in exposing these issues that too often remain hidden and thrive on silence. As the collective community enters a brave new dialogue around sexual assault and domestic violence, we continue to offer leadership, expertise, and advocacy to help survivors heal and advance justice.
