S*T*O*P Violence Against Indian Women

S*T*O*P Violence Against Indian Women (VAIW)Grants are intended to develop and strengthen tribal law enforcement and prosecution efforts to combat violence against Native women and to develop and enhance services for victims of such crimes. The STOP VAIW Program encourages tribal governments to develop and implement effective strategies tailored to address their unique circumstances.
To ensure the development of a coordinated approach, the Violence Against Women Act of 2000 requires that at least 25 percent of the total STOP VAIW grant award (this does not include the match) be allocated to law enforcement, at least 25 percent to prosecution, at least 30 percent to nonprofit, nongovernmental victim services programs, and at least 5 percent to tribal courts.

Therefore, grantees funded under this program must collect and maintain data that measures their effectiveness. Grantees are required to submit the Semi-Annual Progress Report.
