    Summary

    Established by the Violence Against Women Act of 1994, the STOP Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Program seeks to develop and implement law enforcement and prosecution strategies to effectively decrease violent crimes against women. These grants also help to develop and enhance services provided to the victims of violent crimes.


    In Missouri, the Missouri Department of Public Safety (DPS) is responsible for coordinating VAWA funds with local agencies. Funds through VAWA must be committed to four specific areas in the State: prosecution, law enforcement, victim service, and courts. 


    In FY 2022, VAWA funds may be used for multiple purposes in the identified funding areas, including

    • Reduce violent crime against women and promote victim safety through investing in law enforcement, increasing prosecution, and promoting effective prevention.
    • Empower victims to become survivors by growing them past their vulnerabilities to a place of self-sufficiency.
    • Increase efforts to combat stalking.
    • Address the specific challenges that rural communities face in responding to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking.

    NOTE: STOP funds may be used to partially purchase equipment that will be used for the STOP project as well as other purposes if the expenses are prorated according to the percentage of time that the equipment is used for STOP purposes. For example, a state could use STOP funds to support a portion of the digitalization of a 911 network if it can document the percentage of expenses based on the number of calls received for domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalkin.
