Office on Violence Against Women Tribal Consultation
This year, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is subject to reauthorization. The Department of Justice has engaged in extensive consultation on this topic with tribal leaders and experts. There are several new opportunities to strengthen this important policy to improve the lives of Native women and protect their families. This year, both the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) and the Department of Health and Human Services invites tribal leaders from across the nation to join us on December 15, 2011 at the Tamaya Hyatt Regency on the Santa Ana Pueblo, NM, for our sixth Annual Tribal Consultation.
