The YWCA weighs in on the importance of the Violence Against Women Act. There are three reasons some Republicans are trying to block the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act: Gays, immigrants, and Native Americans.
I know from personal experience that there are still so many flaws in our legal system and gaps in resources when it comes to victims of domestic violence — it is absolutely unconscionable that people would seek to overturn the progress we’ve made thus far.
I’m proud to have worked at a YWCA in college & proud that they are helping in this movement.
