S 2159

This bill establishes a pilot program to combat technology-related abuse in domestic violence cases. It aims to provide grants to eligible consortia – partnerships between higher education institutions, community organizations, and domestic violence centers – to address issues like stalking, harassment, and monitoring through technology. The program will also create a separate grant program to fund educational initiatives and training for organizations supporting victims of this type of abuse. The bill requires the Director of the Office on Violence Against Women to evaluate the pilot program’s effectiveness and report findings to Congress.
