It is with great excitement that I announce the selection of Rosemarie (Rosie) Hidalgo as the new Deputy Director for Policy with the Office on Violence Against Women. Rosie brings over twenty years of experience working in the movement to end violence against women to this position. From providing direct legal representation to developing strategies and policies that have a national scope and impact, her knowledge and dedication will enhance the federal conversation on combatting violence against women. We are excited that Rosie will join the Office on Violence Against Women in early December, and look forward to our continued collaboration with the field.
