VAWA provides critical funding that supports rape crisis centers as well as collaborative projects between law enforcement and advocacy groups that enhance victim services and hold perpetrators accountable. She was joined by staff and board members from many other women’s groups across the State of Minnesota. While in Washington D.C., the Minnesota delegation met with senators to discuss the issue of domestic violence and the importance of reauthorizing the VAWA. “In 2005, we will be working with other domestic violence programs to advocate that congress reauthorize the “Violence Against Women Act,” which provides federal funding for a wide array of services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.” — Connie Moore, Executive Director of Alexandra House and board member of MCBW.
