An Online Resource Library on Domestic & Sexual Violence

VAWA No Fee Toolkit

Publisher(s)

This toolkit explains the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) "no fee" provision, which prohibits many federally funded jurisdictions from charging survivors fees associated with domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking cases. Designed for advocates, attorneys, court personnel, and law enforcement, it provides practical guidance for implementing the law and supporting survivors through the issuance, service, and enforcement of protection orders while reducing financial barriers to safety and justice.
