Have you heard about the NAAV's CIRCLE Project yet? It's a program that provides legal representation throughout Oklahoma's state and tribal courts to survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.
The CIRCLE project was first funded in July 2016. It has continued to grow and continues to provide services throughout Oklahoma. We have just finished our third quarter of our second year of funding and have compiled some graphs to show the data being produced by the project.
The data reflects numbers from July 2016 to June 2018. On average the CIRCLE project carries 50 open cases at all times. To date the CIRCLE project has assisted with 203 cases in 23 months. This is a big task for four attorneys who travel all over the state to provide services.
