    DIW and the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office have been partners and have had a contract for 20+ years. The contract states we will have a Native American advocate to provide domestic violence services to the Native American Community.

    The DIW advocate provides culturally specific domestic violence services to the community, provides assistance with filing Orders for Protection, and provides support in court proceedings.

    In 2017, the DIW Native American advocate provided 192 services to Native American victims of domestic violence.
