Governor's Commission on Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking

The Governor's Commission on Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking was established by Executive Order 2022-3 on April 11, 2022.

• Examining trends and patterns of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking in New Hampshire;
• Identifying risk factors, current practices, gaps in systemic responses and barriers to safety for victims;
• Recommending policies, practices, and services that will prevent and deter domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking, encourage community collaboration to better meet victims' needs and increase offender accountability; and
