7 Fantastic Times Bernie Sanders Stood Up For Women & Their Rights

On The Violence Against Women Act
Sanders voted for the Violence Against Women Act in 2013, which protects and provides support for victims, as well as strengthening the legal response to abuse. When President Obama signed it into law, Sanders issued a statement which read:

The Violence Against Women Act is an extremely important law and has helped protect women in Vermont and across our country for nearly 20 years. While the incidence of domestic violence has been reduced, too many women and girls are still suffering from domestic violence and sexual abuse.

On Equal Pay
In his 12-point economic plan he outlined for the Senate in December, Sanders advocated for equal pay for equal work. One portion of the plan read:

Provide equal pay for women workers who now make 78 percent of what male counterparts make.
