"By signing the $1.5 trillion omnibus spending package Tuesday, President Joe Biden reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which will, among other things, create the first grant program dedicated to LGBTQ+ domestic violence and s*xual assault survivors...
'Passage of the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2022 will help ensure even more resources and services are available to LGBTQ survivors of intimate partner violence and s*xual violence,' said Beverly Tillery, Executive Director of the New York City Anti-Violence Project, which coordinates NCAVP.
'This legislation has the strongest-ever provisions to benefit LGBTQ survivors. While the LGBTQ community continues to experience a barrage of anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ attacks across the nation, VAWA provides a brief moment of hope that we can and will continue to make important advancements for our community. This victory is the result of a strong coalition of advocates who have been willing to fight with and for the most marginalized communities in our country.'"
