U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-1st dist.) has introduced the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2021. This legislation authorizes funding for a variety of grant programs, including for victim services, prevention, training, education, enforcement and economic stability.
Fitzpatrick said, “Congress must continue to aggressively combat domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking by passing our bipartisan Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2021. VAWA has been instrumental in improving and enhancing our nation’s response to safeguarding women and children from abuse, anguish and violence. Congress has historically reauthorized VAWA with broad, bipartisan agreement, and I look forward to working alongside my colleagues to ensure that VAWA continues to protect victims and survivors across the nation.”
VAWA Reauthorization Act of 2021 is supported by, among others, the National Task Force To End Sexual and Domestic Violence.
