Today Alina’s Light provided important briefing to the U.S. Senators Fetterman and Casey on Alina’s Law - a lifesaving legislature designed to protect Pennsylvania’s most vulnerable residents who already hold Protection from Abuse (PFA) orders, but to many of whom they offer little protection. Alina’s Law seeks to equip PFA respondents with proximity alert devices that activate if they come within a certain range of the PFA holders, thereby alerting victims and enabling them to get to safety.
The importance of this law is clear when you consider the statistics: over 10 million people in the United States are subjected to domestic violence every year. One in four (!) women in Pennsylvania experience such violence in their lifetime. Many seek protection in court and receive PFAs. However, over half of all PFA orders are violated. In other words, these orders fail those who need them most: while they can offer legal protection, they miss the crucial element of an effective safety device and primarily rely on the perpetrator’s compliance and the victims' ability to avoid their abusers independently.
Alina’s Law can change that. It can save lives, protect the victims, empower the survivors, and prevent crime. Stand with us for Alina’s Law.
