.@DebVagins tells @FrancesSSellers, "Almost any tool can be weaponized by someone who wants to cause abuse... It's not necessarily that we're seeing new abusive behavior, but new tactics being used. As technology evolves, unfortunately, so too does the abuse."

The budget agreement will finally reauthorize VAWA.

Its expiration three years ago put many lives in jeopardy.

Since I first helped write VAWA, which was in effect 1994-2019, countless individuals have been saved.

This long-overdue reauthorization will help protect survivors.
