Every 9 seconds a woman in the United States is assaulted or beaten.
In a society that tends to "look the other way", the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women is making a difference. The Office on Violence Against Women runs 25 grant programs to reduce sexual assault, domestic violence, and dating violence.
President Trump wants to eliminate these programs.
A few examples of the grants administered by the Office on Violence Against Women:
Consolidated Grant Program to Address Children and Youth Experiencing Domestic and Sexual Assault and to Engage Men and Boys as Allies
Grants to Reduce Sexual Assault Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking on Campus Programs
Training and Services to End Violence Against Women with Disabilities Grant Program
On Saturday, January 21st 2017, 3.3 million people within the United States marched in solidarity to protect Women's Rights. The Women's March spread throughout every continent across the world.
Tell President Trump that we refuse to go backwards.
America should be working to protecting its citizens from harm, and the elimination of these programs would put more people at risk.
Please sign to tell the Trump Administration and Congress to protect the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women.
Congress and the Trump Administration,
I strongly urge you to protect the Office of Violence Against Women. This office is vital for the protection of women's rights and the reduction of sexual assault and domestic violence.
