Over the last three decades, instances of domestic violence have declined significantly thanks in part to the protections offered by VAWA and its subsequent reauthorizations. While VAWA was a significant step forward in putting an end to the scourge of domestic violence, it is our duty to continue forging a safer country for future generations of women and girls.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPresident Biden ran on a commitment to pass the long-overdue VAWA Reauthorization Act, and thanks to his leadership and the tireless advocacy of activists, survivors, and allies, today we also celebrate the VAWA Reauthorization Act which built upon the legacy of this historic law.
