The U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women awarded a $414,147 Formula Grant under the Tribal Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Grant Program (CFDA 16.557) to Midwest Native Coalition For Justice & Peace Inc., a minority-owned, Native American-owned non-profit organization based in Holton, Kansas. This 12-month grant supports the coalition's efforts to: 1) increase awareness of domestic violence and sexual assault against Native American women; 2) enhance responses to violence against Native women at the tribal, federal, and state levels; 3) provide technical assistance to coalition members and tribal communities to improve access to essential services for Native victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and sex trafficking; and 4) assist tribes in developing policies and best practices for addressing violent crimes against Native women. The coalition will host an annual training on sexual assault response, partner with law enforcement and judicial agencies to improve victim-centered practices, and develop an indigenized 40-hour training academy on the Violence Against Women Act for Kansas-based law enforcement, prosecutors, and advocates.
