2022, Whose America?
Even though the United States has enacted some of the most protective laws for women, such as the 1994 Violence Against Women Act, domestic abuse continues. Victims of domestic abuse are exploited and abused by their partners and by a larger judicial and political system that fails to bring justice. There is a sense of defeat in Janice’s eyes, who has just witnessed her best friend being murdered by her husband.
