In FY 2023, OVW has five programmatic priorities, of which the priority area(s) identified below are applicable to this program. Applications proposing activities in the following areas will be given special consideration during the review process.

  1. Advance racial equity as an essential component of ending sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and sex trafficking.
  2. Expand economic justice and financial advocacy for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, including as a tool for violence prevention.
  3. Improve outreach, services, civil and criminal justice responses, prevention, and support for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and sex trafficking from underserved communities, particularly LGBTQ and immigrant communities.
