The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) has been one of the cornerstones of America's response to domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking for the past quarter-century. Every time Congress has reauthorized VAWA, they have strengthened it to improve protections and access to safety and justice for all survivors.
VAWA has expired, and it is time to renew it with modest but vital improvements.
Brave survivors of domestic and sexual violence have been speaking up, sharing their stories, and asking for change. It's time for the Senate to listen and take action.
Senators will return to Washington in September. Now's the time to push them to bring forward a bill substantially similar to H.F. 1585 as soon as Congress reconvenes.
More information about VAWA and resources for making your voice heard from the National Task Force to End Sexual & Domestic Violence can be found at 4vawa.org.
