[div class="excerpt"Less than one day after a man shot and killed seven women in a violent rampage at three separate Asian massage parlors in Atlanta, the House of Representatives voted to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).

The bill is a response to domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking, and it previously expired in 2019.
