Jerry Nadler said "For nearly three decades, the Violence Against Women Act has provided critical funding to organizations that support victims and survivors of gender-based violence. However, Native Hawaiian women, who experience disproportionately high levels of sexual violence, have been excluded from accessing these much-needed resources. S. 7 would allow Native Hawaiian victims and survivors to receive the support they need and would allow Native Hawaiian organizations to increase their efforts to combat sexual violence. Mr. Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to support the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
