Violence Against Women Act
The Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA) is a US federal law signed by President Bill Clinton on September 13, 1994, providing $1.6 billion for investigation and prosecution of violent crimes against women, imposing automatic restitution, and allowing civil redress. The Act was reauthorized in 2000, 2005, and 2013, but expired in 2018 and was temporarily reinstated before being reauthorized in 2022 by President Joe Biden. The Act has undergone several changes, including the addition of protections for same-sex couples and battered undocumented immigrants, and has been the subject of Supreme Court challenges, including the 2000 case United States v. Morrison, which struck down a provision allowing women to sue in federal court.learn more on wikipedia
