The election is over and now it\u2019s time for our officials to get back to work! Whether your representatives got re-elected or not, now is the time for them to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act. Let\u2019s make this lame-duck session count!<\/p>\n

Why This VAWA<\/h2>\n

For the first time, the Violence Against Women Act addresses the critical issues of dating abuse and sexual assault on college campuses with the integration of Campus SaVE. This provision will require colleges and universities to record and report dating violence on campus and ensure victim’s safety by mandating schools create plans to enforce protective orders and notify the victim of their rights.<\/p>\n

Sounds amazing, right? Yet, while VAWA passed the Senate, the House version eliminated Campus SaVE. It’s not too late – you can help SAVE it!<\/p>\n
