Over the last 40 years, the U.S. developed a robust federal framework to combat intimate partner violence, an ongoing public health crisis. Recently, however, the Trump administration's budget cuts and policy changes have placed this essential support system at risk. With critical teams dismantled and funding for shelters and prevention programs halted, survivors face increased barriers to safety. Evidence shows that 40% of women and 25% of men report experiencing intimate partner violence, underscoring the severity of the crisis as funding and research efforts are curtailed.
The Trump administration's actions have severely jeopardized decades of established federal support for victims of domestic and intimate partner violence, risking lives and safety.
With a concerted effort to cut funding and eliminate critical teams focused on domestic violence prevention, the administration's stance represents a narrow view of support for survivors.
