The National Task Force to End Sexual and Domestic Violence (NTF) appreciates Senators Feinstein’s, Ernst’s, Durbin’s, and Murkowski’s ongoing commitment to swiftly reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) with key enhancements as expressed in their December 16 press release and on the Senate Floor. This lifesaving legislation cannot wait, and a Senate bill must, as the Senators stated, be introduced in January, including the provisions described in the published framework. The NTF will continue to work with the Senate, the House, the White House, the sexual assault and domestic violence victim advocacy communities, and victims and survivors nationwide to expeditiously strengthen and reauthorize VAWA.
