Violence Against Women Act Reauthorized

Apr 14, 2019 | News Brief

Washington, D.C. – On Wednesday, April 4th the U.S. House of Representatives voted to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) which provides protections for domestic violence survivors. The measure passed largely along party lines with most Republicans voting against it rather than cross the NRA who opposed the legislation because it included a gun-related provision which makes it harder for domestic abusers to have access to guns. This is the fourth time the VAWA was reauthorized since it was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1994.
