Every human being has the right to be safe and free from violence in their own homes,
in their relationships, and in their community. Intimate partner violence and sexual
violence are endemic problems. The Alaska Victimization Survey provides comprehensive
statewide and regional data to guide planning and policy development and to evaluate
the impact of prevention and intervention services. Results can be used to support
prevention and intervention efforts that reduce violence against women.
The Alaska Victimization Survey is conducted by the UAA Justice Center for the Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (CDVSA).
Our thanks
We thank every woman in Alaska who has participated in this survey. Because of your courage, we know more about the impact of violence and are better prepared to respond to and prevent it across our state.
