Answer 2

Answer:

Violence against women act

Explanation:

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was signed in 1994, during the Clinton presidency, putting into place laws to protect women from domestic violence . While domestic abuse had been acknowledge as an issue, before VAWA, officers of the law were discouraged from  intervening in domestic disputes, and even when they did, they were often not taken seriously. VAWA made the issue more visible and created awareness, greatly reducing the rate of domestic violence.
