The Violence Against Women Education Project (VAWEP)
Domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking are critical issues facing family, criminal, and juvenile courts in California. The Violence Against Women Education Project (VAWEP) is an initiative designed to provide the courts with information, educational materials, and training on the court’s role in responding to these cases. VAWEP is a project of the Administrative Office of the Courts’ (AOC) Center for Families, Children & the Courts (CFCC) and is being implemented in collaboration with the AOC Education Division/Center for Judicial Education and Research (CJER). The project is funded with resources from the federal Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). The project’s planning committee, comprised of judicial officers, attorneys, victim advocates, and other experts, guides the project staff in identifying key training issues and developing appropriate educational programming. Major efforts for the development and augmentation of educational events and curricula related to domestic violence and sexual assault are currently under way.
