This turned out to be the catalyst for providing funding for three main 1974 demonstration projects to offer better support and notification to both witnesses and victims once the criminal prosecution had started. Some of the programs for the victims and witnesses started borrowing some service ideas from some of the grassroots programs and some new ones from law enforcement; some of these staff based on prosecutors were trained in crisis involvement (because court appearances can be crisis-inducing events), and some provided on-scene crisis services to the victims irrespective…

This law gave women's rights activists in the 1970s legal standing to fight for equal pay and anti-sexual harassment policies. Furthermore, feminist theorists like Patricia Hill Collins pointed out black women faced dueling prejudices regarding their gender and race (Collins 2004).
