AAUW of Colorado Public Policy Day

Violence Against Women

February 1, 2025

The Violence Against Women Act turns 30 this year. The Bidens just threw a party to celebrate – and to remind us of its importance. What does the Act do? It provides funding and programs to help the recovery of women victims of violence. The most recent reauthorizations have included Indigenous women and LGBTQ persons in those benefits. Let this be your first reminder that Public Policy Day 2025 will explore Colorado’s legislation to counter Violence Against Against Women. Mark February 1, 2025 on your calendar now, and plan to join us to meet the lawmakers involved and hear their strategies to protect and improve women’s lives.
