Summary
Since 2009, AEquitas has been providing training, assistance, and resources that are informed by research and experience and provide customized strategies that are accessible, responsive, and easy to implement, resulting in prosecutors' ability to sustain effective practices and promote systemic change. In its capacity as the comprehensive technical assistance provider for prosecutors, AEquitas works closely with OVW and its grantees to promote a contextual, rather than uniform, approach to the pursuit of justice for victims. By promoting a deeper and more meaningful understanding of violence against women, AEquitas and its network are dedicated to increasing successful adjudications and ultimately preventing future acts of violence. AEquitas and its staff, comprised primarily of former prosecutors, (1) create, research, and curate publications, statutory and case law compilations, and other resources that strengthen prosecution practices, (2) offer on–demand 24/7 consultations to answer case–specific inquiries, discuss strategy, conduct research, and recommend data–driven solutions, (3) develop curricula and facilitate a wide range of specialized in–person and web–based trainings for prosecutors and allied professionals, and (4) provide long–term support in building frameworks for coordinated responses to violence against women, including data collection and analysis, task force development, and training.
