Tech Safety for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Act
HR 6173 establishes a pilot program to address technology-based abuse against victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. It authorizes up to 15 grants of $2 million each to partnerships between tech-focused schools, domestic violence centers, and local governments to provide victims with devices and tech safety support. The bill also creates a separate $20 million grant program over five years to fund training materials for organizations helping victims navigate tech abuse. These programs directly affect victims facing digital stalking or harassment by abusers, aiming to improve safety through targeted resources and education.
