John— The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was signed into law on September 13, 1994—nearly 30 years ago. At the time, this landmark legislation represented a major achievement in the fight to protect women from violence. We’ve made impressive progress since then, including reauthorizing VAWA multiple times and passing dozens of domestic violence laws at the state level. A year ago, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act took important steps towards closing the deadly <span style="font-family:sans-serif">“</span>boyfriend loophole,<span style="font-family:sans-serif">”</span> which let abusive dating partners buy guns. But the latest Giffords Law Center report, [ [link removed] ]The Devastating Toll of Gun Violence on American Women and Girls, highlights just how far we still have to go to stop violence against women. More than 6,000 American women die in shootings every year, and women in the United States are 21 times more likely to die from gun violence than women in peer nations. [ [link removed] ]Too many women are dying from gun violence or being forced to live with its devastation. Donate now to help us put an end to this crisis. This burden is disproportionately borne by women of color, who make up 61% of gun homicide deaths but less than 40% of the population. The pain goes beyond physical injuries as well, with gun violence contributing to psychological trauma and enabling emotional abuse. At Giffords Law Center, we’re fighting for laws that will help prevent suicides, reduce community violence, and keep guns away from abusive partners. We know that these policies will save lives and protect women. Make a contribution to Giffords Law Center today.
