Resources for OVW Grantees on Technology, Confidentiality & Relocation
NNEDV's Safety Net Project helps agencies and communities respond effectively to the ways that technology impacts victims of domestic and dating violence, sexual violence and stalking. We provide resources, training and technical assistance to assist U.S. DOJ Office of Violence Against Women Grant Programs (OVW grantees) with identifying and addressing victim safety and confidentiality concerns that arise from using technology or collecting and sharing information. We also provide resources to support safety and confidentiality when victims relocate.
