#vawa4all

"It also aims to improve access to housing for victims and survivors and eliminates impunity for non-Native perpetrators of sexual assault, child abuse, domestic violence, stalking, sex trafficking, and assaults on tribal law enforcement officers on tribal land..." More from Chandelis Duster on #VAWnet.

Did you miss Leigh Goodmark and #TeamNRCDV's Heidi Notario on KALW? 🎧 Listen at the link here! SUCH a crucial discussion about how COVID-19 has impacted survivors, why the Violence Against Women Act's (#VAWA) reliance on police doesn't support survivors, and how to integrate transformative justice into this movement.

🎧  Tune in TODAY at 10am PT / 1pm ET. #TeamNRCDV's Heidi Notario will be joining KALW to chat about #VAWA and how we're supporting survivors by realigning our focus with policies that don't rely on our racist criminal justice system. You won't want to miss this.

We owe you some accountability. We owe you some transparency. The Violence Against Women Act (#VAWA) heavily relies on the criminal justice system. The criminal justice system supports an anti-Black agenda and disproportionately harms communities of color, LGBTQ communities, and survivors. NRCDV is reckoning with and reflecting on our role in VAWA's history, legacy, and continued carceral response. Now is a critical time for realignment and course correction.

“We are particularly pleased with provisions that confirm Tribal sovereignty to prosecute non-native offenders of sexual assault, child abuse, trafficking and stalking.” -Farzana Safiullah, NRCDV CEO. Read more about #VAWA4ALL on #VAWnet here: http://bit.ly/NRCDVstatementHR1620
