Editor's Notes
It expired in 2008 and then it was signed into law by President Obama in 2010 as a part of The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA). Funding was expanded to include more programs, particularly addressing the issue of children that are exposed to domestic violence.
VAWA programs are administered by the Department of Justice and Health and Human Services. Bill was designed to do a number of things including improvement in response of police, prosecutors, and judges to domestic violence and related issues. VAWA also aids programs that work to prevent youth violence and provides funding for rape crisis centers.
The people that were overlooked until this bill was passed included: Native women, immigrants, LGBT survivors, college students & youth, and public housing residents.
