Rep. Debbie DingellVerifizierter Account

25 years ago we passed the Violence Against Women Act and recognized that no woman, no child and no family should fear for their life because of domestic violence. But before that, many lived with that fear. Including myself.

When I was a child, I remember the fear, the seeking help and no one responding because you didn’t acknowledge the problem or accept the reality of what happened behind closed doors. Much has changed since those days and the passage of VAWA in 1994.
