The act seeks to prevent and respond to domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking

46 year old Jolie has worked closely with the bill’s sponsors and advocates on provisions to address the impact on kids of domestic violence as well as the long-term health impacts of trauma.

“We have to understand the trauma effects of abuse and put the health, safety, and healing of children at the center of how our legal and medical systems approach domestic violence,”

Jolie is also advocating for Kayden’s Law – a law which requires trauma-informed court processes and legal standards and judicial training that will minimises the risk of harm to children.
