WomensLaw at a Glance: 2025 National Updates

NNEDV

February 2026
 

WomensLaw.org (a project of NNEDV) offers plain-language legal information for 55 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 479 statutes and added 352 statutes in 2025. Based largely upon these new and amended statutes, we created 536 new questions and responses and revised an additional 930 existing questions and responses on WomensLaw.org. We also translated 1,082 pieces of content into Spanish and 3 into Korean.

In our Places that Help section, we added 352 new state-specific and national resources and updated 1,944 existing ones.

Here are four exciting areas WomensLaw focused on this year that are useful for survivors in any state or territory. You can also visit our What’s New page to learn about all of our legal and non-legal updates and additions in 2025.
