This $400,000 federal Project Grant award under the Grants to Reduce Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking on Campus Program (CFDA #16.525) will allow Western New England University, in collaboration with the YWCA of Western Massachusetts and Hampden County District Attorney's Office, to implement a comprehensive strategy to address gender-based violence on their campus. The key activities funded by this 3-year grant include: 1) establishing a coordinated community response team to oversee project planning and implementation; 2) providing prevention programming on domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking to all students; 3) training campus law enforcement on effective response protocols; 4) offering 24-hour confidential victim services and advocacy; and 5) conducting ongoing training for personnel involved in the campus resolution process. This federal grant program, administered by the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women, aims to enable colleges and universities to develop multidisciplinary approaches that enhance victim services, implement prevention initiatives, and strengthen security and investigation strategies to address these critical issues on campuses nationwide.
