Advance protections under the Violence Against Women Act

Tlaib urged the Senate to pass the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act after it passed the House. The bill would expand protections allowing transgender women to access women’s shelters and end longstanding impunity for certain non-Native perpetrators of sexual assault, stalking, sex trafficking, and child abuse connected with domestic violence.

Context: The source describes the bill as having passed the House and still requiring Senate action; it does not establish its current status.
