Organization and Projects
The National Center on Full
Faith and Credit is a project of the Battered
Women’s Justice Project. NCFFC’s mission is to facilitate implementation of
the Full Faith and Credit clause of the Violence Against Women Act in all
states, tribes, and territories by raising public awareness of the statue’s
requirements and by providing problem-solving technical assistance and support
to individuals and jurisdictions.
Sacred Circle: National Resource
Center to End Violence Against Women (a project of Cangleska,
Inc.) is funded by the Administration for Children and Families, Family and
Youth Services Bureau, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Southwest Center for Law and Policy is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit
organization providing legal education, training, and technical assistance on
domestic violence, sexual assault, elder abuse, child abuse, abuse of persons
with disabilities, and stalking to tribal communities and to the agencies and
professionals serving them.
Mending the Sacred Hoop Technical Assistance
Project (MSH-TA) is a Native American program that provides training and technical
assistance to our American Indian and Alaskan Native relations in the effort to
eliminate violence in the lives of women and their children.
The Hope Card Project issues a “hope card” to the person receiving an order of protection
(restraining order). The issuing jurisdiction has digital copies of the order on
file.
Project Passport – A
Project of the Kentucky Domestic Violence Association is an eight state regional effort. Kentucky is bordered by more
states than any other in the country, so we all came together as a region to
develop a practical strategy to increase the implementation of the full faith
and credit provision of the Violence Against Women Act. The states included
Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, West Virginia, and
Virginia. We were also pleasantly surprised when the District of Columbia
voluntarily joined the Project.
WomensLaw.org mission is to provide easy-to-understand legal
information and resources to women living with or escaping domestic violence. By
reaching out through the Internet, WomensLaw.org empowers women and girls to lead
independent lives, free from abuse.
