NDDSVC’s role as the designated state sexual assault coalition includes a strategic focus on addressing sexual violence through prevention strategies and creating a culture of respect, consent, and nonviolence in North Dakota. In 2023, NDDSVC received funding and resources from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) Program Grant to complete a year-long, data-driven Coalition Capacity Assessment addressing areas of sexual violence primary prevention strengths and areas of potential strategic growth.
The Assessment process, led by NDDSVC RPE staff and our collaborative partner Wise Action Consulting, concentrated on and gathered information from key stakeholders on the Coalition’s role, context, and organizational capacities in five key health equity-focused sexual violence prevention areas:
The full report details the findings and considerations for each area, ultimately finding that NDDSVC does have the strengths to rise and become the statewide leader on sexual violence primary prevention that stakeholders’ desire and North Dakotans need.

As part of our ongoing review of the strengths and gaps in North Dakota’s response to domestic violence, NDDSVC collaborated with Global Rights for Women (GRW) in 2023-2024 to conduct a statewide Needs Assessment Annual Update project. This Annual Update identifies Native American women as a priority underserved and highly victimized community in our state.
ViewThousands of North Dakotans experience domestic and sexual violence each year. But together, we can change that. By giving to NDDSVC, you’re helping us prevent future violence and providing life-saving resources to North Dakota communities.
If you are in an unsafe or abusive situation, there are 19 domestic violence/sexual assault (DV/SA) victim advocacy centers across North Dakota that can help you navigate your options and stay safe. Each center is staffed with professionals who can help you with safety planning, finding shelter, obtaining a protection order, and more.
NDDSVC does not provide direct services to victims and survivors.
Contact a DV/SA advocacy center near you if you are looking for support. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
