However, as Lee Ann S. Wang shows in \u003cem\u003eThe Violence of Protection\u003c\/em\u003e, VAWA primarily funds law enforcement efforts to rescue women, and in doing so, creates conditions of racial violence against survivors from communities who are already policed, surveilled, and face immigration enforcement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough ethnographic fieldwork with legal and social advocates serving Asian American survivors of gender and sexual violence in the San Francisco Bay Area, Wang shows how these advocates grapple with laws which require survivors to cooperate with policing in order to receive protection.
