The sequester will also affect agencies that help victims of domestic violence.

The federal "Stop Violence Against Women" grant is set to expire, meaning thousands of dollars will be cut from local "domestic abuse shelters like Harbor House in Appleton. 

A recent report on the funding cuts shows an estimated 200,000 abuse victims nationwide could be affected.
