The Incarcerated Gender Violence Survivors Initiative

Formed in 2017 by Sanctuary attorneys and pro bono partners, our Incarcerated Gender Violence Survivors Initiative seeks to secure the release of gender violence survivors who have been imprisoned in New York State for crimes committed after prolonged domestic abuse, through a comprehensive approach: legislation, legal representation, training, and education.
