Obviously, this varied from country to country. In many countries modern legislation on this dates from the 1970s and early 1980s. (I think many kinds of abuse were in fact illegal long before that, but the police and the courts didn't like to 'get involved').

The two main laws Congress passed to prevent violence against women are the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), first enacted in 1994, and its subsequent reauthorizations.

The law has established funding for shelters, legal assistance, and training for law enforcement to better address these issues.
