The bill aims to strengthen legal protections for women against violence. It proposes increasing penalties for violent crimes against women, dedicating more funding to protect women and prosecute offenders, and clarifying what types of acts constitute violence. The bill faces some opposition over concerns about how violence is defined and whether it unfairly targets men. If passed, it would take effect immediately upon the president's signature.

1. The bill is entitled- Prevention of engagement in violent
activities against the female gender.
The bill, as promised to constituents during the elections is
meant to protect women from the effects of violent activities
and from a violent environment in general. Women are the
biggest victims of violence and being a weaker gender, more
laws and regulations need to be stipulated in order to protect
women from acts and activities of violence in their
environments.
The bill is relevant to every constituency in the aspect that
violence against the female gender is found everywhere. There
are no places, countrywide where women do not undergo
violence. The greatest source of violence against women is from
the male gender and women need to be legally protected. The
bill is not meant to favor women against men but to ensure that
women are safe from unfriendly and dangerous environments.
Though there currently are legislations and stipulations that are
meant to protect women from violence, there needs to be more
stringent regulations and the bill is meant to ensure that these
regulations are effected and strengthened to see a society where
women are not victims of violence. There needs to be a society
where women live in peace and where they are accorded the
respect they deserve.
Currently, the issue of violence against women has been
trending in world media and the most recent case is one that
was cited in Egypt during the inauguration of the current
Egyptian president. From what has been trending in the media,
it can be established that violence against women is indeed an
act that needs the legislation of more stringent legislations.
Currently, there exist various legislations that are meant to
ensure that women are protected from violent activities. Current
legislations however need to be supplemented so that the legal
shield to women against violence can be facilitated better and

2. enhanced. Most notable legislation shielding women against
violence is the Violence against Women Act, a legislation that
was enacted in the year 1994. The act has played an integral
role in helping protect women against an ever existent violent
environment.
According to the current legislation, the government dedicates
and has allocated an estimated $1.7 billion towards carrying out
investigations and subsequent taking of necessary action against
individuals who commit and engage in violent activities against
women. Before the bill was enacted and subsequently passed,
movements earlier were driven towards ensuring that women are
protected against violence.
The legislation not only aims at protecting women from
violence in their homes but it has been more effective in
preventing and protecting women against sexual violence. The
act’s major role is ensuring that adequate funds are allocated
towards quelling violence against women.
By the time the legislation was passed, the funds it allocated
were relatively few compared to the current decade and
expenses required at the moment. Therefore, the bill requires to
be restructured and be formulated better in an attempt to
increase the funding to help increase the funds being allocated
to protecting women and bringing to justice, culprits who
commit violence against women.
The bill was initially opposed since it was seen as a move to
intimidate and harass men. The establishment of what activities
that can be classified and categorized to be violent activities
against women was also a point of contention for the bill and
this is still a contentious issue. The bill faces opposition from
enactments that are meant to protect men from violence and
establishing a clear line and distinction of what acts of violence
women can commit against women is still an issue of

3. discussion. The bill also faced opposition from one of the
political wings while one wing intended to extend the
protections that the bill provided towards protecting women
against violence.
