Discover the transformative journey of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) as we sit down with Jan Langbein, CEO of Genesis, a leading voice in domestic violence advocacy. Jan’s firsthand experience as a senior policy advisor offers a unique perspective on the sweeping reforms introduced in the VAWA Reauthorization Act of 2022. She shares how these critical updates provide enhanced support through economic justice, housing protections, and expanded tribal jurisdiction, ensuring that survivors from all walks of life, including Native American women, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ individuals, receive the justice and protection they deserve.
The episode promises a deep dive into the political landscape surrounding women’s rights, focusing on how recent legislative changes impact survivors’ autonomy and safety. As we explore the significant hurdles faced by those seeking justice, particularly around issues like no-fault divorces and the oppressive control over victims’ rights, Jan offers insights into the ongoing advocacy necessary to combat these challenges. We also shed light on the importance of trauma-informed approaches and specialized training, crucial in effectively addressing and prosecuting crimes against women.
Join us as we recount Jan's inspiring experiences in Washington DC, celebrating the 30th anniversary of VAWA. From attending high-profile seminars to standing on stage with President Biden, her journey highlights the relentless efforts required to foster change. The episode concludes with a focus on the impactful work of Genesis Women's Shelter, a beacon of hope and support for those affected by domestic violence.
