Support the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act
The original Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), enacted in 1994, was a historic recognition that domestic violence devastates victims and degrades our society. Reauthorizing VAWA would maintain protections for victims, make vital investments in preventing sexual assaults, protect victims of domestic violence from intimate partner homicide, and increase victims’ access to safe housing and economic stability. The bill would also strengthen VAWA by closing the “boyfriend loophole” and barring people convicted of abusing, stalking or assaulting a dating partner from purchasing or owning a firearm.
