Stop Violence Against Women and Girls Globally: Support International Violence Against Women Act Online Petition: Deadline ASAP

Stop Violence Against Women and Girls Globally: Support International Violence Against Women Act Online Petition Deadline: ASAP  
Violence against women and girls is one of the world’s most pervasive human rights abuses with 1 out of 3 women experiencing violence during her lifetime. The International Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA) would coordinate and improve existing U.S. foreign assistance efforts to stop this global crisis. Tell your Members of Congress to commit to ending violence against women and girls by co-sponsoring I-VAWA. Tell them (1) No girls should be denied the right to education, (2) No woman should fear rape or other violence every time she steps outside her door, (3) No woman should be raped by law enforcement or denied justice for sexual violence, and finally (4) Your action can make a difference.
