I am pleased to co-sponsor the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and encourage my colleagues in Congress to pass it without delay. This legislation, reintroduced today, extends and strengthens VAWA’s existing provisions, and expands protections to LGBT Americans, immigrants, and Native Americans.
Failure to enact this bill again would deprive women, children, and families of vital protection against abuse and law enforcement of essential tools to combat violence.
