WomensLaw at a Glance – 2023 National Updates

NNEDV

February 2024
 

WomensLaw.org offers plain-language legal information for 54 states and territories, federal legal information, and non-legal information related to domestic violence. To provide the most updated information to survivors, their loved ones, and the professionals who help them, the WomensLaw team reviewed amendments to 501 statutes and added 454 new statutes in 2023. Based largely upon these new and amended statutes, we created 216 new questions & responses and revised an additional 402 existing questions & responses on WomensLaw.org. We also translated more than 645 pieces of content into Spanish, 7 pieces into English and, for the first time, 2 into Korean. In our Places that Help section, we added 98 new state-specific and national resources and revised 727 existing ones.

Here are the top four additions to WomensLaw.org that are not specific to any state. Please visit our What’s New page to learn about all of our legal and non-legal updates and additions in 2023.
