Her post comes as part of a broader national conversation on strengthening laws and policies to prevent violence against women. The Violence Against Women Act, first passed in 1994 and reauthorized multiple times since, has been hailed as landmark legislation in protecting women from domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking.

Throughout her career, Harris has built a reputation as a staunch advocate for women’s rights. As District Attorney in San Francisco and later as Attorney General of California, she focused on prosecuting domestic abusers and providing support to victims of violence. Her experience as a U.S. Senator also involved legislative efforts to expand the reach and impact of VAWA, securing critical funding for victim services and legal assistance.

As Vice President, Harris has been vocal about expanding protections for women and girls, both domestically and internationally. She continues to push for stronger enforcement of anti-violence measures and greater access to resources for survivors, working closely with lawmakers, activists, and community organizations to address systemic issues.

The Vice President’s message resonated widely, receiving over 93,000 views within hours of being posted. Her commitment to addressing violence against women remains a key aspect of her leadership, and her recent statement reinforces the administration’s focus on upholding justice and safety for vulnerable populations.

Harris’s advocacy for the Violence Against Women Act, combined with her lifetime of public service, underscores the Biden-Harris administration’s broader agenda to protect and empower women, ensuring their safety remains a top priority.
