From Remezcla: 8 Pioneering Trans Latinas to Honor for Women's History Month
We need to learn about how women of different races, ethnicities, backgrounds, and nationalities have shaped our lives. That’s why we’re looking at trans Latinas currently making their mark within both LGBTQ communities and overall. These women, like
Sylvia Rivera
and Angie Xtravaganza before them, are currently building lasting legacies. For the most part, their work goes unrecognized, but they deserve to be a part of the conversation as well.

|
Deadline
April 11
Through this grant program, Indian tribes receive support and technical assistance for planning and implementing changes in their criminal justice systems necessary to exercise special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction (SDVCJ) and funds to exercise the jurisdiction. The program encourages collaborations among tribal leadership, courts, prosecutors, attorneys, defenders, law enforcement, probation, victim services providers, and other partners to ensure that victims find safety and justice and that non-Indians who commit crimes of domestic violence, dating violence, and violations of protection orders in the Indian Country of the tribe are held accountable.

OVW Fiscal Year 2019 Research and Evaluation ***UPDATED*** Solicitation
|
Deadline EXTENDED TO
April 11
The purpose of the Research and Evaluation (R&E) Initiative is to research and evaluate approaches to combatting domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking. By generating more knowledge about strategies for serving victims and holding offenders accountable, communities that benefit from VAWA funding will be better equipped to align their work with practices that are known to be effective, and they will be more capable of generating empirical knowledge on the efficacy of new and promising ways of doing things. R&E is designed to support researcher-practitioner partnerships and a broad range of research and evaluation methods, including qualitative, mixed-method, and quasi-experimental, and experimental designs. Because OVW has very limited funds to support research and evaluation, this initiative prioritizes topics for which a stronger evidence base would help OVW grantees use federal funds most effectively.
