Who this affects: This bill primarily affects victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking who face abuse through technology. It also affects the organizations that serve them, tech professionals who could partner with those organizations, and the federal agencies that would manage the programs.
Why this matters: Abusers increasingly use smartphones, tracking apps, spyware, and social media to monitor, harass, and control victims. Many domestic violence shelters and service providers lack the technical knowledge and resources to fully protect survivors from these digital threats. This bill tries to close that gap by connecting tech expertise with victim services and building a training pipeline for the people on the front lines.
