Earlier this year. I worked with many of my colleagues to introduce the Violence Against Women Act. which is in this bill. My bill would have included provisions that established grant programs to protect child victims of domestic violence. grant programs for housing needs. to protect immigrants who are victims of domestic violence and to protect victims of domestic violence on tribal lands. Not all of these measures made it into the bill. and I am hopeful in conference those provisions that were left out can be added in. I want to mention one issue which has recently come to my attention. which is the issue of tribal victims of domestic violence who are not receiving VAWAs protections.
