This year marks the 30th anniversary since the passage of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in 1994. VAWA is a landmark piece of legislation designed to address domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and other forms of gender-based violence. It has led to the creation of vital programs and services, including the establishment of the National Domestic Violence Hotline, funding for victim assistance programs, grants for law enforcement training, and streamlining the legal system’s response to survivors.
