The Incarcerated Gender Violence Survivors Initiative (IGVSI) is a unique and cutting-edge effort to address the failure of the criminal justice system to acknowledge the devastating impact of domestic violence on survivors.

​

IGVSI is a collaboration among legal and social services organizations, law firms, advocacy groups, former prosecutors and judges, formerly incarcerated survivors, a former prison superintendent, and other individuals committed to assisting survivors of gender violence involved in the criminal justice system. The Initiative conducts bi-monthly meetings to discuss case strategy, share updates, and discuss overall planning and priorities.
