Check out this article she wrote in honor of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month for Grio.com.
Check out Executive Director Stephanie Nilva and Youth Voices Network Coordinator Jean Sung on News Nation with Tamron Hall on MSNBC.

On October 7, 2008 the New York City Council presented Day One with a proclamation to commemorate our Fifth Anniversary of working with youth to prevent domestic violence. Right, Executive Director Stephanie Nilva, with the rest of the Day One staff, accepts the proclamation from City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, and Council Members Diana Reyna and Melissa Mark-Viverito at City Hall.
As of July 2008, New York State extended access to civil Orders of Protection to domestic violence victims in dating relationships. Since 2004, Day One advocated to grant the same legal protection to all victims of relationship abuse. Day One celebrates this achievement with the many advocates who have been working on this issue for two decades. On behalf of the young survivors we assist, we thank the many legislators whose efforts contributed to this success, including Governor David A. Paterson, Assembly Member Helene E. Weinstein, Senator George H. Winner, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and others.
