VAWA helps raise the awareness of our community to the rapes happening every day...right in our community.

Now, maybe if we quit wasting legal resources on prosecuting non-violent drug offenders, MAYBE we could provide better funding for labs, investigations, training for police & the DA's to actually raise the rape conviction rape, which is sickening low.
