WHO WE ARE: SurvJustice is a D.C.-based national not-for-profit organization that increases the prospect of justice for all survivors through legal assistance, policy advocacy, and institutional training. Our legal assistance enforces victims' rights to hold both perpetrators and enablers of sexual violence accountable in campus, criminal and civil systems. Our policy advocacy creates victims’ rights to improve systems of justice, and our institutional trainings help develop norms to better prevent and address sexual violence. By working on these fronts, SurvJustice is creating accountability that decreases the prevalence of campus sexual violence throughout the United States. Founded in 2014 by Laura L. Dunn, it is still the only national organization that provides legal assistance to survivors in campus hearings across the country.
WHO WE ARE NOT: Although the work of SurvJustice naturally raises awareness about campus sexual violence and encourages prevention, our mission is neither prevention nor awareness focused. Rather SurvJustice’s theory of change is that increasing the prospect of justice for survivors through creating and enforcing victim rights will hold both perpetrators and enablers accountable in campus, criminal and civil systems to decrease the prevalence of sexual violence across the country. SurvJustice does not provide support resources to survivors, such as counseling or therapy, nor is it a fundraising source for campaigns, organizations, groups, survivors, or lawsuits. Finally, SurvJustice does not assist accused students that are not victims of sexual violence.
