Congress moves to reauthorize Violence Against Women Act

The House of Representatives on Monday introduced legislation to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act, a landmark bill championed by President Joe Biden that expired in 2018.

"It also aims to improve access to housing for victims and survivors and eliminates impunity for non-Native perpetrators of sexual assault, child abuse, domestic violence, stalking, sex trafficking, and assaults on tribal law enforcement officers on tribal land..."

NRCDV Prioritizes Survivor Safety & Choice as VAWA 2021 Passes House

We at NRCDV believe that we are in a critical time for realignment and course correction. We promise to imagine and co-create solutions to gender-based and sexual violence that emerge from communities most impacted and address root causes. This is consistent with our values and the commitment we have made to the field, BIPOC survivors and others living on the margins.

We owe you some accountability. We owe you some transparency. The Violence Against Women Act (#VAWA) heavily relies on the criminal justice system. The criminal justice system supports an anti-Black agenda and disproportionately harms communities of color, LGBTQ communities, and survivors. NRCDV is reckoning with and reflecting on our role in VAWA's history, legacy, and continued carceral response. Now is a critical time for realignment and course correction.
