About this episode:

In 1994, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act—the first comprehensive federal legislation to recognize the often-overlooked dangers of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other gender-based violence. In recognition of October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, researchers Tiara Willie and Michelle Decker join the podcast to talk about the legislation’s initial goals, why gender-based violence is still a neglected issue 30 years later, and how far we still have to go in truly protecting all women from violence.

Guests:

Tiara Willie is a Bloomberg Assistant Professor of American Health in mental health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a researcher in gender-based violence, mental health, and sexual health.

Michele Decker is a Bloomberg Professor of American Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and is the founder and director of the Center for Global Women’s Health and Gender Equity at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Host:

Stephanie Desmon, MA, is a former journalist, author, and the director of public relations and communications for the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs, the largest center at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
