This act is yet to be taken seriously in Nigeria. Why have we not established a community yet using the specified NGO while thousands of Nigerian Women suffer this without centers to report to. Why!Why!why!

The act explained as:

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was the first major law to help government agencies and victim advocates work together to fight domestic violence, sexual assault, and other types of violence against women. It created new punishments for certain crimes and started programs to prevent violence and help victims. Over the years, the law has been expanded to provide more programs and services. Currently, some included items are:

• Violence prevention programs in communities
• Protections for victims who are evicted from their homes because of events related to domestic violence or stalking
• Funding for victim assistance services like rape crisis centers and hotlines
• Programs to meet the needs of immigrant women and women of different races or ethnicities
• Programs and services for victims with disabilities
• Legal aid for survivors of violence
• Services for children and teens

The National Advisory Committee on Violence Against Women works to help promote the goals and vision of VAWA. The committee has not taken a strong step in Nigeria yet. Violence shouldn't be a Nigerian culture.
