express your view on how VAWA, the citizens and the community can protect and support victims of gender-based violence

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA),  the citizens, and the community needs to speak the issue of gender-based voilence and take appropriate measure to tackle it.

Explanation:

The Violence Against Women Act deals with domestic abuse, sexual harassment,  stalking, and dating violence. It aims at the development of organized community care by law enforcement officials, defendants, treatment programs, and lawyers. Intimate partner violence is represented as violent acts undertaken by a spouse or ex-partner. Around  1 million to 5 million women face IPV in the United States each year. To deal with violence act actions should be needed by individual citizens and community as a whole to create awareness about such abuses, supporting victims, and establishing legislative measures such as  VAWA.
