The purpose of this listserv is to encourage discussion aimed at identifying federal domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking-related legislative priorities, from the perspective of legal services providers. Membership is open to anyone supporting federal assistance to expand and improve the provision of legal services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking, and open discussion is encouraged.

During the spring and summer of 2009, more than 20 different working groups led by advocates working to end violence against women came together to analyze how the Violence Against Women Act is affecting communities and to make recommendations in preparation for the 2011 reauthorization. The working groups addressed the existing titles of the legislation, such as sexual assault services or children/youth, as well as emerging areas in need of response, such as meeting the needs of victims in same sex relationships.
An executive summary of the recommendations from the working groups is being developed for delivery to key members of Congress, along with an appendix of more detailed recommendations from each of the various working groups. As soon as the summaries are complete, we will post them here.
