"Clearly, the human and social cost of violence against women is staggering and that is precisely why full funding for VAWA is so critical. According to Stop Family Violence, research has found that VAWA has saved nearly $14.8 billion dollars in net averted social costs in its first six years. Even more importantly, studies show that rates of domestic violence and sexual assault have declined since VAWA was begun.
Personal violence is no less terrifying than political violence. Given the demonstrable benefits of VAWA, by comparison to the hundreds of billions spent on the War on Terror, $1 billion dollars would be money well spent."

That was in 2006. We’ve stopped terrorizing women since then. You must have missed it.
