Definition

  • The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is considered by many to be a landmark piece of legislation, calling attention to the issues of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. In 1994, the original VAWA was enacted as Title IV of the Violence Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act (PL. 103-322). [Source: Encyclopedia of Gender and Society; Violence Against Women Act]
