It provides hotlines, shelters, services and laws to victims of sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence and stalking. The law was reauthorized and expanded in 2000 and marked a turning point in the national response to violence against women. The bill was unanimously reauthorized by Congress late last year. But under the Bush administration, the annual budget has not fully funded VAWA for 5 years in a row. Congress requested $1 billion for the programs but the President&#8217;s budget only requested $546.2 million. Meanwhile media coverage on the bill is shockingly scarce. In fact a Google news search on VAWA yields articles mostly written from a male perspective, bashing the bill.
