    The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) aims to reduce domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Enacted in 1994 and modified in 2000, VAWA provides benefits to women, children, and same sex couples. It was reauthorized by the Senate to also help illegal immigrants. Positive outcomes of VAWA include fewer people experiencing domestic violence, more victims reporting violence to police, states reforming laws, and all states making stalking a crime.
