The Equal Rights Amendment could provide constitutional support to help protect survivors of gender-based violence. Here's how:
among women of color, as more than half of multiracial and Native American women and more than four in 10 Black women have experienced physical violence by an intimate partner during their lifetimes.
In 1994, Congress passed the landmark Violence Against Women Act to combat gender-based violence including domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence and stalking. When VAWA first passed, it included a provision to allow survivors of gender-based violence to sue their attackers. In 2000, this provision was struck down by the Supreme Court.Christy Brzonkala, a woman who was raped by two fellow college students, sued her attackers under this provision of VAWA.
When she was a freshman in 1994, Christy Brzonkala was raped by two students on the Virginia Tech campus. Brzonkala sued the school and her attackers, alleging the attack violated the Violence Against Women Act. The Supreme Court ultimately ruledthat Congress had no power to protect women from violence because crime is a matter for the states.
