STATEMENT FROM VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS ON THE 30th ANNIVERSARY OF THE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT

On Friday, September 13, Vice President Harris released a statement on the 30th anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act.

“Thirty years ago today, the Violence Against Women Act was signed, becoming the first comprehensive federal law to focus on preventing and addressing violence against women and to provide justice and support for survivors. Written and championed by President Biden when he served in the Senate, this landmark legislation has transformed the way government upholds its duty to protect the women and girls of our nation. We would not be where we are today without his work and the tireless efforts of advocates, allies, and the brave survivors who have shared their stories and determination to ensure others do not have to experience what they did or face it alone.


As we reflect on the lifechanging progress we have made over the last 30 years, we recommit to the critical work ahead. Together, alongside survivors, advocates, and allies, President Biden and I will continue to do everything in our power to ensure that every woman throughout America has the freedom to live safe from violence and hate.”
