In a 2019 Today show interview with Maria Shriver, Wood described her crusade to extend the statute of limitations for pressing charges for domestic abuse. She wrote the Phoenix Act, which stretched the statute of limitations in California from three years to five. The act was signed into law in October 2019. Wood says she felt it was time for her to come forward with her story because she felt her story was powerful.
“I decided my story was powerful enough and I thought that my voice could be loud enough that it could actually be heard,” said Wood. In response to Shriver’s question about how a person can know their story is powerful, Wood said everyone’s story has power.
“Everyone’s story is powerful. Every survivor’s story is powerful.” Wood said she was a victim of domestic violence when she was a teenager and that it took her many years to able to label her experience as such. Wood also said this experience helped her realize there were a lot of injustices when it came to survivors of domestic violence.
