Senator Shaheen spoke at a press conference to affirm her support for the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and urge the House of Representatives to pass the bipartisan, Senate-passed version of the bill.

The House bill also weakens protections for victims in same-sex relationships, immigrant victims and women on tribal lands.
