The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) of 1994 was a dramatic federal legal reform in the US as a result of almost three decades of advocacy by the battered women’s movement and the rape crisis center movement. VAWA comprehensively criminalized domestic and sexual violence and enhanced formal equality and services for the victims of violence. In 2007, as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Joseph Biden introduced the International Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA) in the Senate to bring into US foreign policy what VAWA brought into the US domestic policy and to improve upon the way the US addresses violence against women globally.
