Sonia Salari and Annie Isabel Fukushima: 'As scholars focused on gender-based violence, we are pleased with how far we’ve come as a society in acknowledging and addressing domestic violence — and also hopeful that more positive change is possible.'

National movements to respond to domestic violence may be traced to the 1970s when the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence was founded through grassroots organizing across the U.S., led by advocates such as Betsy Warrior, Valle Jones, Matilda ‘Tillie’ Black Bear, among other grandmothers of the anti-violence movement.
In September 1994, a decade later, Congress authorized the Violence Against Women Act. Since then, there have been four VAWA reauthorizations, which have facilitated recognition of protective orders across state lines and provided grants to states to strengthen policing, prosecution and victim services.
In 2020, another coalition of domestic violence experts across the state formed—the Gender-Based Violence Consortium. In 2022, the consortium completed a statewide needs assessment on domestic violence, sexual violence and human trafficking.
