The main federal law against violence against women is the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (PDF, 410 KB). Domestic violence and abuse are already against the law. This law provides services and support for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
The direct services provided for individual women by this law include:1
No charge for prosecution or civil protection orders in domestic violence
Programs to meet the needs of immigrant women and women of different races and ethnicities
Programs and services for women with disabilities
Legal aid for survivors of violence
Services for children and teens
Protections for victims who are evicted from their homes because of events related to domestic violence or stalking
