Violence Against Women Act passes House!

By Hannah Le

Mar 1, 2013

It passed with votes of 286 to 138.

The NY Times describes the legislation:

The newly passed legislation creates and expands federal programs to assist local communities with law enforcement and aiding victims of domestic and sexual abuse. Most notably, the bill goes further by offering protections for gay, bisexual or transgender victims of domestic abuse, as well as allowing American Indian women who are assaulted on reservations by non-Indians to take their case to tribal courts, which otherwise would not have jurisdiction over assailants who do not live on tribal land.

And who are the 138 representatives who voted against this?
