Legal empowerment advocacy project

The Victim Rights Law Center Inc. was awarded a $349,980 cooperative agreement from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Office on Violence Against Women to support the Legal Empowerment Advocacy Project. The award is being used to provide technical assistance to communities through the OVW Technical Assistance Initiative (CFDA 16.526) program from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2023 in Boston, Massachusetts.

The OVW Technical Assistance Initiative aims to provide grantees with expertise to forge partnerships to effectively respond to violence against women. Under this cooperative agreement, the Victim Rights Law Center will deliver technical assistance and resources to further the program's goal of empowering communities to aid victims of violence. The two-year project funding will support legal advocacy services and capacity building assistance to community partners.
