This $367,379 Formula Grant, awarded on October 1, 2024, is provided by the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) under the State Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Program (CFDA 16.556). The grant supports the critical work of the Coordinadora PAZ Para La Mujer, Inc., a Puerto Rico-based non-profit organization and minority-owned business that serves as the designated domestic violence and sexual assault coalition for the territory.
Through this funding, Coordinadora PAZ Para La Mujer coordinates territory-wide victim services activities, collaborates with federal, state, and local entities engaged in violence against women efforts, and provides training and technical assistance. The organization also works to develop appropriate responses to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking cases involving the courts, child protective services, and law enforcement agencies. Additionally, the grant enables Coordinadora PAZ Para La Mujer to design and conduct public education campaigns, plan and monitor the distribution of grant funds, and inform policy development to reduce sexual assault.
