Domestic violence affects millions, both women and men, of every race, religion, culture and status. It\u2019s not just punches and black eyes — it\u2019s yelling, humiliation, stalking, manipulation, coercion, threats and isolation. It\u2019s stealing a paycheck, keeping tabs online, non-stop texting, constant use the silent treatment, or calling someone stupid so often they believe it.<\/p>\n
Since the Violence Against Women Act passed in 1994, we\u2019ve come a long way. This landmark legislation, led by then Senator Joe Biden, combined new provisions that hold offenders accountable and provide programs and services for victims. Between 1993 and 2010, the overall rate of domestic violence dropped nearly two-thirds and state laws have reformed to address issues such as dating abuse in the workplace, stalking, employment discrimination and more.<\/p>\n
