Tech Safety for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Act

YourVoice.Now Summary

97 percent of domestic violence service providers say abusers are using technology — from social media stalking and spyware to phone monitoring — to harass, control, and track victims. This bill would create two new grant programs: a pilot program awarding up to 15 grants of $2 million each to teams pairing tech experts (from universities or the private sector) with domestic violence centers to help survivors combat technology-enabled abuse, and a separate $20 million education program to train organizations and individuals who support victims. The pilot would run for 5 years and report to Congress on what's working.
