Voters should care about this bill because it addresses a serious public health and human rights crisis in Puerto Rico, where existing data on gender-based violence is fragmented and insufficient. Without clear, comprehensive information, it's difficult to create effective policies or allocate resources efficiently to protect vulnerable populations.

If this bill becomes law, it could provide the critical data and insights needed to inform more targeted federal and local policies, improve support for survivors, and strengthen the response of institutions. It highlights the unique context of Puerto Rico, including post-disaster challenges, and aims to ensure solutions are culturally relevant and community-driven. If it doesn't pass, the understanding of gender-based violence in Puerto Rico may remain incomplete, potentially hindering efforts to save lives and improve safety.
