Wanda Vazquez Garced on Civil Rights

 

 


Oversaw budget cuts to groups serving battered women

Vazquez has a complicated history with women's rights groups on the island. The relationship grew tense while Vazquez was the head of the government agency in charge of enforcing women's civil rights--a position she held from 2010 to 2017, when she left to take over the justice department. Vazquez oversaw steep budget cuts to groups that provide services to battered women. She also instituted strict new requirements for those groups to receive federal funding.
