Tech Safety for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Act
This bill establishes a 5-year pilot program to address technological abuse against victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. It authorizes the Director of the Office on Violence Against Women to award up to 15 grants (max $2 million each) to "eligible consortia" - partnerships between tech-focused institutions (like universities or private tech groups) and domestic violence/sexual assault centers - to provide tech devices for victims and develop safety tools. A separate $20 million grant program funds nonprofits and schools to create training curricula for organizations supporting victims. The bill directly affects victims experiencing digital stalking or harassment and the service providers who assist them, with both programs requiring congressional review after completion.
