VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT: HELP GET IT REAUTHORIZED

Safe Horizon joins organizations around the nation to support the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act (S.1925).

Since it was first enacted in 1994, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) has saved thousands of lives.VAWA recognized domestic and sexual violence as crimes at the federal level, which helped organizations like Safe Horizon, law enforcement, and the court system receive much-needed resources to assist victims. VAWA has helped reduce the number of domestic violence-related homicides, as well as provided prosecutors and courts with more funding to pursue cases involving violent crimes against women.
This lifesaving legislation needs to continue - and the new bill, as introduced by Senators Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Mike Crapo (R-ID) will expand the Act to give more victims of domestic and sexual violence more protection.

Join us today to help ensure VAWA gets reauthorized. Learn how.
