Tribal domestic violence and sexual assault program

The First Nations Women's Alliance received a $341,347 Formula Grant award from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Office on Violence Against Women under the Tribal Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Grant Program (CFDA 16.557). The grant period is from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022 to support the Tribal Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Program.

The Tribal Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Program will work to increase awareness of domestic violence and sexual assault against American Indian and Alaska Native women in Devils Lake, North Dakota. It will also enhance the response to violence against American Indian and Alaska Native women at the tribal, federal, and state levels. Further, the program seeks to identify ways to reduce incidents of domestic violence and sexual assault committed against American Indian and Alaska Native women.
