Barack Obama Speaks Out Against Domestic Violence and Abusive Relationships;
Commemorating 15 Years of the Violence Against Women Act.

With the support of VAWA funds, dedicated units of law enforcement officers and specialized prosecutors have grown more numerous than ever before. Most importantly, victims are more likely to have a place to turn for help — for emergency shelter and crisis services, and also for legal assistance, transitional housing, and services for their children.”
