New! The OVW Fiscal Year COVID-19/Violence Against Women Assistance to Tribes Solicitation Application Due!

Sep 16 all-day

New! The OVW Fiscal Year 2020 COVID-19/Violence Against Women Assistance to Tribes Solicitation is now available:

Apply by: September 16, 2020

This solicitation allows tribes (and as applicable, tribal designees, tribal organizations, and tribal nonprofit organizations) to submit short, simplified applications for special funding under two OVW grant programs – Grants to Indian Tribal Governments Program and the Tribal Sexual Assault Services Program. Eligible applicants may apply to both programs covered by this solicitation, regardless of the status of current applications or awards under these programs. Applicants must submit a separate application for each program covered by this solicitation. Funds must be used to meet specific COVID-19 related needs relevant to the purposes of each grant program, not to support entirely new projects.

Note: For applications submitted by August 20, 2020, OVW may be able to make awards by September 30, 2020.

WOMXN’S SELF-DEFENSE

Apr 30 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

This is a two part event. The first part is “Sexual assault: High rates in Alaska require multi-level and immediate response”. This informational session is provided by the Alaska Native Women’s Resource Center. After this presentation we will take a short break and then start the second part. The second part of this event is a self-defense and awareness workshop provided by Stephanie Nayen of Legacy Jiu Jitsu.

This event combines empowering information on how to keep ourselves and families safe. ANWRC and Stephanie will share resources, how to learn about red flags and what to do when you see them, + more!

Note: While the intention of this event is to better equipt and prevent violence, we recognize that the topic of sexual assault can be triggering. We will provide external information for support at the event in case that is needed.

Co-hosts (alphabetically): MMIWG2S Alaska: Alaska Native Heritage Center, Alaska Native Women’s Resource Center, Data for Indigenous Justice, Native Movement, Native Peoples Action/Native Peoples Action Community Fund in Partnership Legacy Jiu Jitsu.
