African-Americans for VAWA Reform is a national organization of women and men, community leaders who have united to inform their fellow Americans of the devastating effects of the Violence Against Women Act on African-American communities.
AAVR is lobbying the U.S. Congress for reform of this flawed legislation.
Domestic violence is a significant health and social issue in the African-American community. Analyses show that domestic violence programs and services funded by VAWA have been ineffective in stopping domestic violence, have not helped victims, and in many instances have created a new class of victims who have been falsely accused and deprived of their civil rights.
