1970年代，美国妇女勇敢地喊出了反对家庭暴力活动的口号“我们拒绝被殴打”，正是这种来自民间的努力最终推动了一系列旨在保护家庭暴力受害者的法律的通过，这些法律将各种形式的来自配偶和家庭伙伴的虐待定为犯罪。 到1990年，美国有48个州颁布了类似的法律。 1994年，被命名为 “防止对妇女施暴法案”的联邦法律扩大了家暴受害者享受的权利和保护的范围。就这个话题，上海美国中心请到了美国联邦检察官胡倚婷（Ye-Ting Woo）来为大家介绍美国反家庭暴力运动45年的历史，Ye-Ting Woo曾在美国起诉家庭暴力罪行，以及就亲密伴侣暴力这个话题进行公众教育。

By 1990, 48 states had enacted such laws. In 1994, federal legislation aptly titled the Violence Against Women's Act expanded federal rights and protections for survivors.  Come learn about the 45 year history of the domestic violence movement in the United States from federal prosecutor, Ye-Ting Woo. her backgrounds encompass on prosecuting domestic violence crimes in the U.S., and educating the public about the dynamics of intimate partner violence.
