Hillary Drove Legislation to Protect Women
Hillary was seen as a major proponent of the Violence Against Women Act in 1994. The law opened the way for states to fund programs that helped victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and other criminal behavior.
The following year she was also directly involved in the establishment of the Office on Violence Against Women in the Department of Justice. Another area in which Hillary spoke out was sexual assault in the military. She also proposed that contraception be made available to women in the military as standard.
