House Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Disappoints, Fails to Protect Women

This week, the House passed a reauthorization bill of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), but this bill falls short and fails to accomplish its namesake goal. From its inception, the purpose of VAWA has been to protect, support, and seek justice for women who have suffered assault or abuse. CWALAC fully supports that mission. The goal of the current VAWA reauthorization efforts should advance these objectives, not compromise them. The reauthorization must address misguided efforts to go beyond the scope of VAWA, which represent a fundamental threat to the privacy and safety of women and girls. Unfortunately, the House-passed version of VAWA ignores and even exacerbates the current problems with the VAWA law.

The Violence Against Women Act, as it stands, has set up a direct threat to women. Females are forced to share shelters and showers with biological men who “identify” as women. This is not hypothetical; transgender access is threatening women. Look at the case of Poverello House in Fresno, California, where nine women were sexually harassed and forced to shower with the transgender who aggressively and regularly harassed them. Shelter staff said they could do nothing, because their women’s shelter received federal grants.

Provisions in the 2013 reauthorization set up this problem, and many members of Congress voted against that bill, and CWA opposed the bill because of it. House Democrats have rejected this reality and are turning their backs on women’s rights. The privacy and safety of women and girls should not be compromised in a bill whose purpose is to protect female victims of violence.

Hah! Fooled again...

"This week, the House passed a reauthorization bill of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), but this bill falls short and fails to accomplish its namesake goal."

The NAME of the bill hardly ever represents what's IN the bill. As an example. I give you... The Affordable Care Act.

The sad mental image I've sometimes had of Justice Kennedy since his majority opinion in Obergefell v. Hodges is one in which he's standing while wearing no bottoms (his bare ass is hanging out). I wonder if he's a closeted gay or bi, even though Jesus commands me not to judge what's in a person's heart, since only He and God could know that.

They dont need special protection, the law protects all.

The govt and law care zero about men suffering violence and have nothing for them.
