A disturbing trend of sexual assault has plagued Eastern Wisconsin, with the U.S. Attorney’s Office joining the fight for justice. In Fiscal Year 2025, the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) awarded $5.6 million to Wisconsin grantees to combat the issue.
First Assistant U.S. Attorney Schimel emphasized the importance of supporting survivors, stating, ‘Survivors of sexual assault deserve safety, dignity, and justice.’ The U.S. Attorney’s Office is committed to seeking justice for these victims and working with federal, state, and local partners to ensure a compassionate and supportive justice system.
The Department of Justice funds essential victim services through its grants, including the Tribal Sexual Assault Services Program and the Transitional Housing Assistance Grants for Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Program.
Survivors can find help through the Sexual Assault Hotline (1-800-656-HOPE) and the StrongHearts Native Helpline (1-844-7NATIVE). The OVW website also offers a ‘Resources for Survivors’ page, directing victims to local resources and services.
