Reviewing Federal Aid for Victims of Domestic and Sexual Violence.

This Act requires the Attorney General to conduct a comprehensive review of all Department of Justice grant and assistance programs supporting victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The goal is to identify weaknesses and recommend changes to improve protection, increase long-term support, and provide victims with clear pathways out of abusive situations, particularly in rural areas. Citizens can expect future federal aid for victims to be more effective and accessible.
