it. i have a number of amendments that have been accepted. i especially want to point out the shield act, which combats the nonconsensual sharing of private sexually explicit and nude images, commonly known as revenge porn, which will now be a crime. my other amendments is creating a task force on sexual violence and having the secretary of education create surveys. 20% of our college co-eds are sexually assaults or attempts on sexual assault on them each year. finally, the last amendment incentivizes states to pass a survivors bill of rights. the states act, which will particularly be important for rape kits. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentlewoman from minnesota is recognized. mrs. fischbach: madam speaker, i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from minnesota reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. nadler: madam speaker, i

women center, which has reported a dramatic rise in requests for their services through the coronavirus pandemic. more than 6,000 more calls responded to in 2020 alone. in 2020, the number of people sent to the shelter tripled. sadly, we have been reminded again today of the dangers that women face in our society. the violence against women act provides resources and services that are lifesaving. that's why i'm proud to co-sponsor this legislation and vote in support of it today. i urge my colleagues to do the same. thank you. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentlewoman from minnesota is recognized. mrs. fischbach: madam speaker, i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. nadler: i yield one minute to the distinguished gentleman from new york, mr. bowman. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york is recognized for one minute. mr. bowman: thank you, madam speaker. i rise as the son of a single mom and as the brother of four

sisters. and unfortunately i have heard stories of abuse and assault and negligent throughout my a -- neglect throughout my life. i also heard these stories from my students and the many families i served throughout my time in education. and the consistency throughout these stories illustrate how there's no recourse, and there is no safe spaces for women to go to when they are under assault and feeling abused. this past year before joining congress i sat with a student and her mom in my office to call a domestic violence help hotline. we stayed on hold for hours before anyone came to the phone. there was no housing for them to go to in support of their safety. so i rise to support this legislation and i rise to

denounce the sexism and pay tree arcy and misogyny that continues to exist within our political arena. and within our laws. thank you. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentlewoman from minnesota is recognized. mrs. fischbach: madam speaker, i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. nadler: madam speaker, i now yield one minute to the distinguished gentlelady from michigan, mrs. lawrence. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from michigan is recognized for one minute. mrs. lawrence: madam speaker, i rise today in solidarity with the survivors of domestic and sexual violence. it is completely unacceptable that we have allowed the violence against women act to expire. i'm proud to have introduced two amendments that will strengthen protection for our most vulnerable communities. the first amendment will stop punishing children who have been sex trafficked and have been in contact with the criminal justice system. the pandemic has also

illustrated the urgency of on what we need to do to make sure we re-authorize it. as americans, we have had to stay at home and it has increased the amount of abuse among those who could leave home. vawa saves life. this isn't a democrat or republican issue. it's justice and safety. it's time we get this done and re-authorize. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentlewoman from minnesota is recognized. mrs. fischbach: madam speaker, i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. nadler: i yield one minute to the distinguished gentleman from texas, mr. green. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized for one minute. mr. green: thank you, madam speaker. madam speaker, and still i rise. i rise today in strong support of this legislation because it includes transwomen.

some of the most brutal, horrific crimes created in the minds of people have been perpetrated upon transwomen. this legislation protects them as it protects all women. i support it and i encourage my colleagues to do so as well. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentlewoman from minnesota is recognized. mrs. fischbach: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the the gentlewoman from minnesota reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. nadler: madam speaker, i yield one minute to the distinguished gentleman from new york, mr. espaillat. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york is recognized for one minute. mr. he patea: -- mr. -- mr. espaillat: it should never have been allowed to lapse to begin with. i stand here in support of this bill in honor of gladys, a dear constituent of mine who 22 years ago was murdered by her jealous ex-boyfriend on her wad

weding day on her wedding gown. i urge my colleagues to pass this legislation in her memory. now you have the bride's march, an international movement across this continent and across the world who honors the memory of gladys. they were right here in this capitol. and they will continue to come back until further legislation is enacted to protect women all across our country, all across the world. thank you, madam speaker. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentlewoman from minnesota is recognized. mrs. fischbach: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. nadler: madam speaker, i yield one minute to the distinguished gentlelady from washington, ms. strickland. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from washington is recognized for one minute. ms. strickland: thank you, madam speaker. i tragic shootings in atlanta yesterday killed eight people. six of whom were asian women. to the families of the victims

you have my deepest condolences. this crime has elements that we are trying to address here in congress, gun violence, violence against women, and the meteoric rise of violence we are witnessing against the a.a.p.i. community. racially motivated violence must be called out for what it is. we must stop making excuses or rebranding it as economic anxiety or sexual addiction. as a woman who is black and korean, i'm acutely aware how it feels to be erased or ignored. and how the default position when violence is committed against women of color or women is to defer from confronting the hate that is often the motivation. words matter. leadership matters. we must all loudly condemn actions and language rooted in fear and bigotry that harms all of us. i yield my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentlewoman from minnesota is recognized. mrs. fischbach: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the

gentlewoman reserves. gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. nadler: i now wield one minute to the distinguished gentleman from texas, mr. doggett. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized for one minute. mr. doggett: a movement led by the texas council on family violence and so many more advocates first won passage of the violence against women act and brought the national domestic violence hotline to austin which has now served five million lifesaving responses. this act brought much needed funding and hope to women across america who led coalitions. yet the scourge of violence has continued. in san antonio, a collaborative led by monique and peter has supplemented incredible family services led by marta and patreesha -- patricia, i have joned them for two town halls to listen, learn, and respond. in austin, kelly and julia

continue the safe alliance as maria johnson expands the caldwell center. too many of these beatings have turned into killings because the re-authorization would close the boyfriend loophole, denying a gun to an abusive partner. the n.r.a. and its congressional republican allies have been blocking renewal. today we call on them to choose life. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. mr. doggett: foster a society where every person is treated with dignity. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentlewoman from minnesota is recognized. mrs. fischbach: madam speaker, i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. nadler: i now yield one minute to the distinguished speak every of the house, ms. pelosi. the speaker pro tempore: the speaker of the house is recognized. the speaker: thank you, madam speaker. i thank the gentleman for yielding. again for his extraordinary leadership. this is quite a day for you, mr. chairman, with the violence against women act and the e.r.a., among other pieces of legislation that you are

bringing to the floor. thank you for the very prolive and excellent work of the judiciary committee -- prolific and excellent work of the judiciary committee and yielding the time. here we are, madam speaker, dressed in white because it's women's history month and we are wearing the color of suffragists as we come to the floor on these two important matters. pieces of legislation. earlier today the equal rights amendment, and now the violence against women act. it's an historic day as the house passes two landmark potentially lifesaving pieces of legislation on behalf of america's women. we do so again during women's history month. i want to sing the praises of congresswoman jackson lee, who has been a relentless persistent advocate for this legislation over time. karen bass, gwen moore and distinguished chair of the committee.

particularly proud to be passing this legislation under the leadership of one of the strongest champions, president joe biden. in the senate he was the guardian of this law. and he was the author of it. as a newish member of congress at the time i was proud to follow his lead and the lead in the house then of leader schumer and now the distinguished majority leader in the senate. this opportunity that we have for legislation whose provenance goes way back into the 90's. at that time i was an appropriator and after we passed the bill that had the violence against women act, it was our responsibility to make sure that it was funded properly. that's been part of the continuing advocacy. in 2013, the legislation was left re-authorized under the

presidency of president obama and the vice-presidency of joe biden who was taking the lead for the re-authorization of the legislation. it was a tough time. the bill passed first in the united states senate. bipartisan in the united states senate. the bill was passed. they sent it to the house. the house refused to take it up. republican-controlled house, refused to take it up. and then they had their own bill. and their own bill bill said we are against violence against women unless you happen to be native american or lgbtq woman or an immigrant woman. well, we these are most vulnerable in terms of using violence against women. it would happen we persuaded the then speaker, mr. boehner, to bring both bills to the floor. of course the senate passed bipartisan bill prevailed. we had a big ceremony,

participated in by native american community, law enforcement community, vice president joe biden, and signed by the president. here we are unable to get it re-authorized. in 2018, under the current the then majority and president, here we are today. finally able to bring bipartisan legislation to the floor. as mingsed, for nearly three decades violence against women act has been a transformative force for safety and security of american women. . domestic violence rates have declined by nearly 2/3 in america. millions of women have gained access to protections from violence and abuse and millions of survivors to essential services and justice.

but we cannot be complacent. one in three women today face domestic abuse. isn't that a stunning figure? and partner violence is on the rise during the pandemic as many women are forced to quarantine in homes that are not safe. every time the congress has re-authorized vawa we have strengthened protections for women based on consultation with survivors and indian country, law enforcement and other experts. the re-authorization on the floor today continues that progress. and as has been said by mr. doggett, we have to recognize the danger of, shall we say, provisions in the bill that protect women from gun violence specifically. among the lifesaving provisions, it makes improved services to

victims of domestic violence, improvements in the criminal justice response to gender-based violence and health care systems and prevents partner homicides, whether they are men or women. this isn't just about women. but violence against women act, but it does protect anyone. democrats are particularly proud that this authorization improves the essential protections that are referenced that were objected to in the republican bill in 2013 including women immigrants, lgbtq and native american women and supports community of color in a culturally sensitive way. this is bill is supported by 200 organizations, representing women groups, law enforcement,

public health and medical communities, civil rights groups, the list goes on. while it is unfortunate we don't know what will happen in the senate. we are optimistic that the re-authorization can be successful on the other side of the capitol and on the other side of the aisle. i urge a strong bipartisan vote for this re-authorization so we can advance justice, safety and dignity in america. the term vawa has become sin none mouse with justice, violence against women act. i urge an aye vote and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentlewoman from minnesota is recognized. mrs. fischbach: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves. the gentleman from new york. mr. nadler: i yield one minute to the gentlelady from florida, ms. wasserman schultz.

the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. ms. wasserman schultz: thank you, madam speaker, i rise to right in support of vawa. this responds to domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking. this collected dust in the senate grave yard. with the democratic senate majority we have partners to secure justice for american women particularly those who are most vulnerable. one in four of american women are victims of domestic violence and one in six will be a victim of sexual assault. we need to respond to these egregious crimes. now is no time to retreat. let's reaffirm our commitment to survivors and make the world

safer for our mothers, sisters and daughters. i urge a yes vote on urgent legislation and i yield back. mr. nadler: reserve. mrs. fischbach: i yield three minutes to the the gentlewoman from georgia. mrs. greene: violence against women's act, this is something that should protect women. unfortunately the violence against women act is expanded -- has expanded its protections beyond women and girls into transgender or biological males who are being called women. democrats know this is a bad policy and agenda. they have to hide behind real abused women. violence against women act incentivizes fraud in housing by allowing people who have been evicted from government-funded

housing because of criminal activity after the fact they are domestic violence victims in order to keep their housing. the violence against women's act allows prisoners to pick their gender and be treated and assigned by their specific preference. this isn't fair to women who are in prison. it should not be allowed for biological men to decide they are a woman and tell people that they are a woman so they can be put in a woman's prison. the violence against women's act provides no exemptions for religious organizations when they hire employees. that zoice religious freedoms. democrats refuse to support amendments to help women to receive self-defense courses to protect them against their abusers. they introduced amendments. if you want to protect women,

make sure women are gun owners and know how to use a gun properly in order to protect themselves. that us the greatest defense. democrats want to use abused women to take away guns from everyone. gun rights know how to pay attention to democrat bills that affect america's gun rights. democrats want to dismantle housing contracts in order to justify their hypocritical agenda except when it comes to governor cuomo. democrats want to create a violence against women's czar. now that they have destroyed the family and housing law, they want to push a progressive ideology through housing policy. that doesn't fit. make no mistake, democrats want to create an authoritarian where

neighbors, partners, citizens and employees are afraid to impose policies. we already know of many high profile men who abuse women. why don't we look in the mirror and take a hard look at the real abusers. i think governor cuomo would be a good one to pay attention to. rather than to criminalize every church in america for not following the aquality -- the speaker pro tempore: the time of the gentlelady has expired. mrs. fischbach: i reserve. mr. nadler: i reserve. mrs. fischbach: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from minnesota reserves. mr. nadler: we are prepared to

close, madam speaker. mrs. fischbach: madam speaker, i reiterate my opposition to h.r. 1620, the re-authorization of violence against women act. democrats filled this legislation with highly controversial provisions that dramatically expand its scope and erase the bipartisanship that originally passed this bill. many of those points were pointed out by the speakers on the republican side and unform it does nothing to address the problem of domestic violence. it threatens religious freedom and undermines the organization intent. resources should be targeted to affect women and help prevent abuse. this bill does neither. with that, i urge my colleagues to oppose this bill. and i yield back the balance of

my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. nadler: madam speaker, every year approximately 7.9 million people are victims of rape, physical violence or stalking by an intimate partner. average of three women are killed every day by a current or former intimate partner. these statistics underscore the need to act without delay to re-authorize vawa and enhance and expand the act so it is even more effective. i urge my colleagues to join with me in passing this critical legislation today and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: all time for debate has expired. each further amendment printed in part b of house report 117-12 not earlier considered as part of amendments en bloc pursuant to section 3 of house resolution 233 shall be considered only in the order printed in the report may be offered by a member shall

be considered as read and debatable for time pest specified in the report may be withdrawn by the proponent at any time before the question is put thereon shall not be subject to amendment and not subject to nand for addition of the question. it shall be in order for the chairman of the committee on the judiciary to offer amendments enolympic consisting of further amendments in part b of house report 117-12. amendments en bloc shall be considered as read and debatable for 20 minutes controlled by the chair and ranking minority member on the committee of the judiciary, shall not be subject to amendment and not subject to a demand for division of the question. mr. nadler: pursuant to house resolution 233 i offer amendments en bloc. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman

from new york seek recognition? mr. nadler: pursuant to house resolution 233 i offer amendments en bloc. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will designate the amendments. the clerk: amendments numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 49, 41, offered by mr. nadler of new york. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to house resolution 233, the gentleman from new york, mr. nadler and the gentlewoman from minnesota, mrs.

fischbach each will control 20 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from new york. mr. nadler: i yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from florida, mr. crist. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from florida is recognized for 30 seconds. mr. crist: thank you very much. i rise today in support of my amendment based on the bipartisan documents for continued safety act that i introduced with resident commissioner gonzalez colon of puerto rico. this amendment would allow stop gaps to be used to replies victims of domestic violence free of cost. they grab all they can when they flee. others didn't have access to their vital documents. rebuilding can be tough but it

will survivors write a new page safe and free. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from new york reserves. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from minnesota rise? mrs. fischbach: i yield three minutes to the gentleman from texas. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized for three minutes. mr. burgess: i do have one of the en bloc amendments at the desk. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. burgess: this amendment requires the department of justice and department of health and human services to issue guidance on the issues identified by government accountability office report and the use of telehealth. in 2018, the energy and commerce oversight and investigation subcommittee held a hearing on sexual assault and forensic

examinations that highlighted gaps in training and care related to sexual assault forensic examinations. the government accountability office testified at this hearing on its 2016 report on sexual assault forensic exams which identified gaps in aspect of performing exams, training, leadership development, the examiner program's sustainability and education of community stakeholders. this amendment is simple and common sense. the departments of justice and health and human services must issue guidance on addressing the gaps identified by the general accountability office. in texas, there have been efforts to utilize telehealth including project echo as a model to provide for enis sick examinations and training and nurses have established their success. i am sure states have employed

other useful telehealth models that should be further explored as well. i appreciate that this amendment is endorsed by the international association of for hensic nurses signalling its dr forensic examinations and i yield back. . . mr. nadler: i yield one minute to the distinguished gentleman from minnesota, mr. phillips. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from minnesota is recognized for one minute. mr. phillips: thank you, mr. chairman. i rise today in support of my amendment and the underlying bill. no one, and i mean no one, should be forced to stay in an abusive relationship because they fear deportation. under current law, if a woman travels to the united states of america with someone on a temporary visa, and that relationship turns abusive, they are trapped. my amendment to the violence against women re-authorization act would create a pilot

program for victims domestic abuse to apply for independent immigration status. it is that simple. and it is that important. with that, madam chair, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentlewoman from minnesota is recognized. mrs. fischbach: madam speaker, i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from minnesota reserves. mr. nadler: madam speaker, i yield 30 seconds to the gentlelady from texas, miss lettering -- leger fernandez. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from new mexico is recognized. ms. leger fernandez: thank you, madam speaker. in new mexico one in three women have experienced domestic violence. we must act swiftly to re-authorize the violence against women act. the protections in this bill are a matter of life and death. my state has one of the highest suicide rates. my amendment will help prevent

suicide among survivors of sexual assault. it also recognizes that our diverse communities must receive culturally relevant legal aid and outreach programs. let's work to end gender-based violence in all of our communities. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentlewoman from minnesota is recognized. mrs. fischbach: madam speaker, i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from minnesota reserves. mr. nadler: madam speaker, i now yield two minutes to the distinguished gentlelady from texas, ms. jackson lee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from texas is recognized for two minutes. ms. jackson lee:

the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from texas is recognized for two minutes. ms. jackson lee: i thank the distinguished chairman for yielding. this has been a long journey. i think it's important to take note of the many women who have helped us do so, but do this in the name of so many women who have lost their lives. i take this moment on the floor to support the en bloc amendment, but as well to encourage my colleagues on the other side of the aisle of how somber and serious a moment this is. that we do not take lightly to the floor because so many of us in our own congressional districts have seen the scourge of domestic violence. we have seen the rise in domestic violence in a meteoric

manner under covid-19. it is rabid and rampant in all of our cities. our law enforcement officers have told us it is the most dangerous, dangerous call that they can possibly make. i'm particularly concerned about sex traffic victims and i'm very glad in the manager's amendment that it has language in there that indicates that sex trafficking victims experience sexual violence and assault and that the federal recognition of their recovery is important. we look at all aspects of this important issue in our country. the en bloc amendment represents members' concerns for improving the treatment of women and men, the lgbtq community, native americans, immigrant women, culturally diverse. to the 200-plus organizations of the coalition i want to say thank you to you for advocating

with us. writing this bill in 2018 and never giving up has been the challenge that i have taken up. i am very grateful to the many women who have joined me. even though it was not passed when there was a republican president, republican senate, republican house and then it was blocked by the republican senate, we have now come with a fully robust comprehensive bill that responds to the concerns of those who cannot help themselves. housing and other aspects of this. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. mr. nadler: i yield another minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from texas is recognized for one minute. ms. jackson lee: the provisions that are in this bill pointedly speak to needs that have been brought to our attention by victims. this bill deals with victims. and so when you are fleeing your home because your name is not on the lease or mortgage, we now have provided an expedited process for you to get housing with your children. we intervene and have cultural and sensitivity training for

men and boys. we have a culturally sensitive -- sensitivity office inside the office of domestic violence so that women of different cultural backgrounds can be responded to along with focusing on culturally sensitive advocacy groups to help those women. and yes, yes, we do prevent a convicted person who has perpetrated a stalking or sexual assault from getting a gun. but this bill is controlled by due process in the constitution. let's pass this bill, women are waiting. they can't wait any longer. men are waiting. many communities are waiting. we can't wait any longer. we must pass this bill. signed by the president of the united states. with that i yield back. mr. nadler: madam speaker, how much time do we have left? the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york has 5 1/2 minutes. the gentlewoman from minnesota has 8 1/2 minutes. mr. nadler: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves.

the gentlewoman from minnesota is recognized. mrs. fischbach: madam speaker, i yield three minutes to the gentlewoman from georgia. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from georgia is recognized for three minutes. mrs. greene: thank you. i rise in opposition to the 39 amendments packed into one little grouping called en bloc. the reason i am opposed is some of these amendments are noble and worthwhile proposals on their own, but they do not outweigh the underlying problems of the legislation. or some of the truly bad amendments in this block. the amendments include provision that is would further inject identity politics into the violence against women's act, which we have heard over and over in this debate. there are studies about desperate impacts and measures that unnecessarily differentiate how we treat different groups of people. the block, this entire block of 39 amendments, includes amendments that further enroach on the affairs of state and

local governments by creating new grants in pilot programs and spending more of the american taxpayers' hard-earned dollars. one amendment in this block is designed to incentivize states to legalize prostitution engaged by minors. prostitution engaged by minors. to help sex trafficking victims. how does this make sense? it doesn't. of course we want to stop sex trafficking but this proposal has not been thought through and could have disastrous unintended consequences. i'm going to say disastrous consequences. we need to return the violence against women's act to its original intent that congress pass and overwhelmingly bipartisan manner almost 30 years ago. h.r. 1620 will expand and alter the fundamental nature of the violence against women's act by imposing the transagenda,

putting biological men in prisons and women's shelters. it does more to advance the democrats' progressive agenda than it does to protect women who need protection. also concerning is the fact that this legislation did not undergo committee consideration. one would ask why not? no committee hearing for this bill or these en bloc amendments. why not? no committee markup for this in congress. why not? rather than rushing to pass this bill we should have taken the time to truly exam the -- examine the issues and determine what if any additional resources, reviews, or studies are necessary. we all stand in opposition to any violence against women. unfortunately, the government lockdowns in the covid-19 pandemic resulted in an increased amount of domestic

violence. increased depression. increased suicide. increased suffering. we have an urgent need to address violence against women, and we should at all times. but not like this, by changing this so radically and including biological men. i urge my colleagues to oppose these amendments and the underlying bill, h.r. 1620. i yield back. mrs. fischbach: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from minnesota reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. nadler: madam speaker, i now yield two minutes to the distinguished gentlelady from the virgin islands, ms. plaskett. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from the u.s. virvir is recognized for two minutes. ms. plaskett: thank you, chair nadler, for your tireless work and the work of so many women of this caucus, including speaker pelosi, to bring this bill to fruition, to bring this bill to the floor. we know and we all believe that violence against women and the

support necessary to impede that from happening, is necessary should be re-authorized. i rise today in strong support of the en bloc amendments. the amendment that i, the nadler amendment, en bloc, is a culmination of years-long effort to authorize expolicity federal legal action against nonconsensual disclosure and public transmission of intimate visual imagery following the lead of dozens of states. nobody under any circumstances should have private intimate imagery shared on the internet without their consent. the pain that is caused by perpetrators who knowingly share sexually explicit or nude images of someone without their consent has ruined lives. and in many instances the lives of their family as well. it is weaponized to humiliate, harass, intimidate, and even

exploit people who are primarily women. i'm proud to support this amendment that will give prosecutors and victims important tools to bring perpetrators to justice and further deter offenders from committing such a terrible and egregious violation of privacy. please approve this amendment and let us pass this bill. thank you. i yield back. mr. nadler: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from minnesota is recognized. mrs. fischbach: madam speaker, i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from minnesota reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. nadler: i'm prepared to close. mrs. fischbach: madam speaker, we have no further speakers. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from minnesota is recognized. mrs. fischbach: madam speaker, i urge opposition to the en bloc amendments and yield my time back.

the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. mr. nadler: madam speaker, the en bloc amendments includes a number of very important amendments that makes significant improvements to the bill. i appreciate all the members who contributed to this en bloc amendment from both sides of the aisle and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to house resolution 233, the previous question is ordered on the amendments en bloc offered by the gentleman from new york. the question is on the amendments en bloc. so many as are in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. mrs. fischbach: madam speaker, i request the yeas and nays. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to section 3-s of house resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20 , further proceedings on this question are postponed. it is now in order to consider amendment number 36 printed in part b of house report 117-12.

for what purpose does the the gentlewoman from -- gentleman from new york seek recognition? sorry, the gentlewoman from new york seek recognition? >> madam speaker, i have an amendment at the desk. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized. >> madam speaker, more than one in three women in this country -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from will suspend. . ms stefanik: madam speaker, more than one in three women -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman will suspended. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from new york and a member opposed each will control . ms stefanik: more than one in three women in this country have experienced some form of physical violence by their partner and each year millions of our mothers, sisters,

daughters and friends are victims. tragically new evidence shows that lockdowns, social isolation and economic insecurity caused by covid-19 has led to a hidden surge. now more than ever we must come together to combat this crisis. congress has a long history of doing so on a bipartisan basis. the enactment of vawa in 1994 and re-authorizations were noncontroversial and overwhelmingly bipartisan. congress worked together to establish a coordinated community response to equip the justice system with the necessary resources to address these heinous crimes. yet in 2019, house democrats allow vawa to lapse and advanced a bill filled with controversial provisions rejecting republican offers to work in good faith and prioritize the well-being of

women and children. at the time, i led the violence against women's extension act of 2019 to extend the law and provide certainty for victims, survivors and crisis center. but they put scoring points ahead of vulnerable effort and prevented vawa's program from going unauthorizeded. democrats are rushing their controversial bill buypassing consideration and ignoring to work with republicans to address the provisions. they have denied new opportunities to contribute to the bill including a record number of new republican women, representatives whose own lives and districts have been affected by these issues. once again, this house rather than pursuing bipartisanship is considering a bill that promotes unproven methods to protect women and imposes new barriers to prosecuting domestic violence

cases. my amendment provides a clean extension of the violence against women act programs for the upcoming fiscal year without the controversial provisions added by speaker pelosi. most importantly, it will ensure funding for critical programs that fight domestic abuse. a clean extension provides us the opportunity to work together to pass a truly bipartisan long-term re-authorization of the violence against women's act. i urge my colleagues to support this amendment. and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from texas seek recognition? the gentlewoman yields? ms. jackson lee: i claim the time in opposition to this amendment. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. jackson lee: i rise in strong opposition to this amendment. the gentlelady is right, her

amendment is simple and it does nothing. it provides no increased funding and it does not provide for women who are desperate and men. and urine digenous community at all. this amendment would extend for one year disastrous rather than re-authorize for five years some of the programs under the violence against women act essentially gutting the bill's grant programs. some of the programs left out of this so-called extension are as follows, outreach and in services to underserved populations, the rape prevention and education grant, $110. 50% increase from the existing bill. housing assistance for vawa victims, women fleeing, men fleeing, children fleeing without having housing. authorize funding for the tribal access program and child abuse

programs for judicial personnel. by leaving these programs out this amendment fails to recognize the range of needs for victims and this simply fails the desperate and needy people. this amendment owe myths the improvements of vawa that are contained in the underlying bill which is the product of years of consultation with a range of stakeholders and the failed efforts of republicans year after year not to re-authorize. this is built on hard work many of whom who work directly in the field with survivors and have a deep knowledge of vawa's programs. relying on their expertise this bill contains improvements to the range of programs to make it an even more effective tool in addressing domestic violence. this dismisses the need of the victims and survivors whose voices were our guide in developing 1620.

it is shameful, the underlying legislation enhances and expands victims' services and improves the criminal justice response and expands legal assistance and additional investments in prevention and improves access to housing for victims and survivors and ends impunity for non-native perpetrators of sexual assault. and have no, no accountability. it supports communities of color and bgbts individuals and protects victims of homicide violence and improves sex provisions. but the amendment would eliminate all of these vital programs. in essence it would leave women and victims helpless and without hope. do not be fooled. this amendment does not demonstrate support for vawa but a lack of commitment to ensuring

that the programs contained within vawa. since vawa's enactment in 1994, congress has repeatedly enhanced the prior versions of the law including re-authorizations in 2000, 2005 and 2013. since the last re-authorization there has been an uptick in demand due to the me too movement and men and women coming forward out of the shadows and uptick in survivors and children's needs in services due to the financial strain due to the covid-19 pandemic. h.r. 1620 improves the law. this amendment would do neat they are. victims and survivors do better than this half measure and look to the women of this congress to be sensitive to their plight. victims and survivors have spoken loud and hundreds of organizes supporting h.r. 1620

and asked for the underlying bill and not a bait and switch that is flawed and makes no improvements to the bill or to the law. this amendment will not help the legislation move in the senate. we have spoken with the leaders in the senate on this issue on both sides of the aisle and they agree we must improve the violence against women act and it is greatly needed to stop the scourge of domestic violence and not freeze it as the stefanik amendment would do. i offer opposition to this amendment which would undermine 1620 years of work, years of building on this. i thank our chairman and i thank many women who helped me with writing this legislation and those who offered substantial amendments to improve it, even those in the last congress. we don't want to freeze that behavior that will be positive. so -- the gentlewoman's time has

expired. ms. jackson lee: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves. the gentlewoman's time has expired. the gentlewoman from new york is recognized. ms stefanik: vawa's re-authorization lapse is due democrats choice to ram through their partisan version of this bill rather than work in a bipartisan basis. when my colleague talks about conversations with the senate we know last year there was no effective conversations with the senate which is why they didn't take up their version. my amendment is a clean extension of vawa and certainty and funding for these programs and i urge my colleagues to vote yes. and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to house resolution 233 the previous question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from new york. the question is on the amendment. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no.

in the opinion of the chair, the noes have it. ms stefanik: i request a recorded vote. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to section 3-s of house resolution 8, yeas and nays are ordered. pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, further proceedings on this question are postponed. it is now in order to consider amendment number 40 printed in part b of house report 17-12. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from missouri seek recognition? mrs. wagner: i rise to offer my amendment number 40 to h.r. 1620, the violence against women re-authorization act. the clerk: amendment number 40 printed in part b of house report 117-12 offered by mrs. wagner of missouri. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to house resolution 233, the gentlewoman from missouri, and a member opposed

each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from missouri. mrs. wagner: i believe we have a sacred responsibility to protect and empower women and abuse and assault and hold perpetrators of violence against women accountable for their crimes. however, we need to be sure that our efforts are effective. the department of justice inspector general has consistently revealed fraud you lens and wasteful uses of vawa grant funds. congress should demand accountability so that every dollar marked for helping victims and preventing violence against women actually goes to help the most vulnerable. my commonsense amendment would prevent those that commit fraud and misuse from receiving vawa funds. they are stealing from the victims that they are supposed to be helping by these efforts.

and to face the consequences. democrats and republicans should agree that this amendment will advance prevention efforts and victim services. i urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support my amendment. however, madam speaker, i want to take this opportunity to touch on something that even more important, i am ashamed that democrats bring this legislation to the floor without my amendments that would allow sex trafficking victims to receive grant funding through the creating hope through outreach service and education for children and youth program. my amendment was removed, stripped in a partisan fashion from vawa, this congress stripping vital sex trafficking funding for victims and children

and not allowed was my amendment that bans the horrors of sex selection abortions that have killed millions of girls around the world and right here in the united states. it is unthinkable that little girls are targeted for death even before they are born. solely because of their sex and i'm grieved the democrats would not allow a vote on that amendment. these two amendments are at the very core of what it means to protect women and girls and outraged that democrats have chosen to move forward in a partisan manner without these critical provisions. i urge my colleagues to support my amendments and reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from missouri reserves. for what purpose does the gentleman from new york seek recognition? mr. nadler: i claim the time in opposition to this amendment. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. nadler: i rise in reluctant opposition to this amendment where i believe it is well

intentioned and want to prevent the use of federal funds, i'm concerned about the effect it may have on small service providers that provide services. it is also unnecessary since the underlying bill maintains accountability which have proven to work very well. this amendment imposes a mandatory bar under receiving grant funds up to five years did if they have fraudulently misused grant funds. smaller providers, many of whom who are run on a voluntary basis are more like lickly to make financial errors because they lack the financial expertise. many of these small providers are culturally specific, rural and tribal. banning such groups and receiving funding could have an unnecessary detrimental to the

victims and survivors. for many small service providers who rely on federal funds to support their operations, such a severe penalty or even the threat of one could make a difference between continuing to serve victims and survivors in need and shutting their doors forever. accountability is vital in all forms and i appreciate the spirit behind this amendment, but for these providers, i fear it could end up doing more harm than good. it is because of these concerns that this amendment is opposed by the national network to end domestic violence among other organizations and i must oppose the amendment as well. i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the speaker pro tempore: the speaker pro tempore: i.. . mrs. wagner: madam speaker, this amendment will improve the underlying bill. i urge my colleagues to vote yes on this amendment and join me,

along with the department of justice and the inspector general, to make sure we are preventing fraud and abuse in these grant programs and making sure that every dollar marked for helping victims and preventing violence against women actually goes to help the most vulnerable. nevertheless, madam speaker, the underlying bill neglects to give trafficking victims and children the resources they need and purposely stripped from this partisan piece of legislation. and i oppose h.r. 1620, and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. nadler: madam speaker, i now yield to the gentlelady from texas, ms. jackson lee, the balance of our time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. jackson lee: would the speaker indicate how much time is remaining, please? the speaker pro tempore: 3 3/4

minutes. ms. jackson lee: well, let me acknowledge the leadership of the gentlelady who has offered this opportunity and the -- amendment and the opportunities we had to work together. i look forward to working with her going forward. but i've also worked with, over the years, really, starting from the time i stood alongside a then-senator joe biden as this bill was presented for re-authorization. it went all the way through the time on the judiciary committee and the writing of this bill in 2014 when unfortunately there was no effort by the judiciary committee to put this bill forward for a hearing. there was no evident by the senate republican, and no effort by the republican president in 2018 to do anything about the scourge of violence against women and men and many groups. i have worked with the 200-plus organizations that are involved in the coalition that stand

against sexual assault and rape and stalking and domestic violence. they are in many different categories in size, but they're vital in their service. i'm concerned this amendment would undermine those smaller organizations who are unique in their service that they provide. they're in places where large organizations may not be. they are working with indigenous populations, native americans, immigrant women, lths. they are saving -- lgbtq. they are saving lives. we have a size in this amendment reaching out to people who can't respond and help themselves. housing in case you have to flee. getting expedited housing. i am concerned about sex trafficking as my good friend is. i worked on this legislation.

i am also well aware of this crisis as it relates for the need in this bill. in the manager's amendment we do have language that says sex trafficking victims, that we should have a placeholder for sacks trafficking victims who experience sexual assault and assault, that the federal recognition of their healing is important. there are provisions that will help individuals who are sex trafficked. we have that in the bill in relationship to the particular actions that are generated if you are sexually assaulted while you're sex trafficked. so we know this bill is sensitive. there's more that can be done. we look forward to a free standing bill that deals specifically, as we have done in the past. i held the first hearing in my congressional district on human trafficking. i've worked with advocates and continue to work with them. and so i take issue that this bill is not sensitive to sex trafficked individuals. and i look forward to working with the gentlelady as we look

forward to expanded resources and expanded response to those who've been sex trafficked and human trafficked because that scourge continues. this legislation responds to those, like that woman in my district who lost her life in the days after christmas and had her son shot at by her husband. we pay tribute to her. we ask you to vote against this amendment. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields. pursuant to house resolution 233, the previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from missouri. the question is on the amendment. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the noes have it. mrs. wagner: madam chair, i ask for a recorded vote. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to section 3-s of house resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, further proceedings on this question are postponed.

pursuant to clause 1-c of rule 19, further consideration of h.r. 1620 is postponed. pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, the unfinished business is the vote on passage of house joint resolution 17 on which the yeas and nays are ordered. the clerk will report the title of the joint resolution. the clerk: house joint resolution 17, joint resolution removing the deadline for the ratification of the equal rights amendment. the speaker pro tempore: the question is on passage of the joint resolution. members will record their votes by electronic device.
