OVW FY 07 Grants to Tribal Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions: In 1978, the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) was created, in part, through the leadership of American Indian and Alaska Native women survivors, advocates, and their allies. The first meeting of NCADV was hosted in 1979 by an American Indian nonprofit, nongovernmental organization on an Indian reservation. One year later, in 1980, the first battered women's shelter designed for Indian women opened its doors on a reservation. Prior to the shelter's establishment, Indian women opened up their homes and used their own resources to provide services to Indian victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.These efforts by American Indian and Alaska Native women (Indian women) to improve systemic and community responses to violence against Indian women began to multiply across the nation, developing into a movement for victims' rights in Indian country. Drawing from unique traditions, Indian governments have been working in partnership with nonprofit organizations to promote the safety of Indian victims and the accountability of offenders. The VAWA offered additional resources and training to Indian tribes to develop specific responses to end domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking.Statistics highlight the need for further resources and organizations devoted to the issue of violent crimes against Indian women. The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports the following between 1992 and 2001:. Indians experienced a per capita rate of violence twice that of the U.S. resident population; . Indians were more likely to be victims of assault and rape/sexual assault committed by a stranger or acquaintance rather than an intimate partner or family member; and. Nearly 80% of Indian victims of rape/sexual assault described the offender as white. Studies also indicate that Indian women suffer a disproportionate level of intimate partner violence and sexual assault. Responding to this critical need, in Fiscal Year 2001, Congress appropriated resources for the development and operation of nonprofit, nongovernmental tribal domestic violence and sexual assault coalitions to address the unique issues that confront Indian victims. The Tribal Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalitions Grant Program (Tribal Coalitions Program) provides much needed resources for organizing and supporting efforts to end violence against Indian women. The purpose of the Tribal Coalitions Program is to build the capacity of survivors, advocates, Indian women's organizations, and victim services providers to form nonprofit, nongovernmental tribal domestic violence and sexual assault coalitions to advance the goal of ending violence against American Indian and Alaska Native women. A portion of the funds provided under the Tribal Coalitions Program has been set aside to provide technical assistance to tribal coalitions.The Tribal Coalitions Program implements certain provisions of the Violence Against Women Act of 2000 Public Law No. 106-386, the Justice for All Act of 2004, Public Law No. 108-405, and the Violence Against Women Act of 2005, Public Law No. 109-162. This solicitation provides program and application guidelines for grant awards to be administered by OVW.
