The Battered Women's Legal Advocacy Project (BWLAP) has established a reputation in Minnesota as a premiere legal resource for battered women and children, as well as those who work with battered women and children in the State of Minnesota. While our services are centered on the legal aspects of domestic violence, the range of our expertise is exceedingly broad, therefore, each year we provide services to thousands of battered women and their advocates in areas including but not limited to: orders for protection, harassment restraining orders, housing assistance, immigration, child custody issues and stalking as it pertains to Minnesota Law.MORE INFO -
Minnesota's stalking statute has languished, underused, for the last 13 years. The crime of stalking is so unlike the
evidence-based crime police officers see day in and day out that officers must relearn what constitutes a crime in order to begin
to even recognize stalking behaviors. The Battered Women's Legal Advocacy Project's stalking program works to create a seamless
partnership between police, advocates and prosecutors that serves all aspects of the victim's needs and effectively combats
the crime. MORE INFO -
DVIC goal is to formulate proactive protocols that are implemented throughout each agency that handles cases or provides services to victims of domestic violence.
