Annual Government-to-Government Violence Against Women Tribal Consultation I August 17-20, 2021
Register Today!
If you have not already registered, please register by clicking the button below.
We are honored to invite your participation in the 16th Annual Government-to-Government Violence Against Women Tribal Consultation to be held August 17-20, 2021, through four afternoon sessions conducted online via a virtual platform. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 national emergency and uncertainty about future medical trends, the Department of Justice has determined that an online consultation is the best means to protect the safety and health of tribal leaders and others who usually attend this consultation in person. The consultation testimony sessions are open to federally-recognized, tribally elected and appointed leaders or their authorized designee to provide oral testimony. Tribal Leaders may also submit written testimony.
The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) is a grant-making agency in the U.S. Department of Justice. Under §903 of Title IX of the United States Department of Justice Reauthorization and Violence Against Women Act of 2005 (VAWA 2005), OVW is responsible for conducting annual government-to-government consultation with the leaders of all federally-recognized, Indian tribal governments on behalf of the United States Attorney General.
The purpose of consultation is to solicit recommendations from tribal government leaders on the following topics:
(1) Administering tribal funds and programs;
(2) Enhancing the safety of Indian women from domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, homicide, stalking, and sex trafficking;
(3) Strengthening the federal response to such crimes; and,
(4) Improving access to local, regional, state, and federal crime information databases and criminal justice information systems.
