Organizations must demonstrate an established history of working with survivors and have the capacity to offer workshops, legal counseling, and direct legal representation to individuals seeking restraining orders. The grant aims to empower survivors by equipping them with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the legal landscapeaddressing the disempowerment that victims often feel during the process.

Applying organizations should also have an understanding of local judicial processes and advocate for changes that would simplify the restraining order process.
