PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Nebraska Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence and the Women’s Fund of Omaha have partnered in a statewide
evaluation project around domestic and sexual violence and sex trafficking. The Sherwood Foundation is providing funding and
guidance and has contracted with Amaka Consulting and Evaluation Services, LLC to lead the evaluation.
This project, the Nebraska Survivor Support Network (NE-SSNE) Evaluation, will examine how the response systems for domestic
violence, sexual violence, and sex trafficking serves or fails to serve survivors, particularly from historically marginalized communities
(i.e. those identifying as Black, Latinx, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+ and differently-abled). Interviews will provide insight about how
services could better reach and serve all communities. Results from interviews will be used to improve access to services to ensure
that all individuals experiencing violence are able to receive the services they need.
