The United State of Women Summit, a large-scale effort to rally together advocates of gender equality to highlight the achievements, challenges and define how to address them.
In 2013, the President signed the third reauthorization of Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), creating new protections for LGBT victims, immigrant women, and Native American women. The legislation also expands housing protections for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking, and enhances reporting, response, and prevention education requirements around these four crimes
In addition, to further advance its commitment to gender equality and women€™s empowerment, the Obama Administration developed a strategy to prevent and respond more effectively to gender-based violence globally. The purpose of the strategy is to establish a government-wide approach that identifies, coordinates, integrates, and leverages current efforts and resources.
Through these efforts the ULEM strives to enlarge the capacity of each partner agency to better provide culturally specific resources and services for victims and survivors.
