New Interview Series: Bipartisan Approaches to Ending Gender-Based Violence

The Wilson Center is proud to announce our newest interview series with members of the U.S. Congress where we discuss ways in which Congress can further awareness, dialogue, and policy action meant to protect women from violence.

Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which aims to strengthen protections for women from various forms of violence.

Earlier this year, the Wilson Center sat down with Senator Gillibrand (D-NY), Senator Ernst (R-IA) and Representative Fitzpatrick (R-PA) to discuss ways in which the U.S. Congress can expand awareness, dialogue and policy action aimed at protecting women from violence.
