[RED DEMOCRATICA] Coments.: The bill that breaks the cycle

 

Estimados compatriotas y amigos hispanos en general: Reciban mi respetuoso saludo y buenos deseos. Les comparto este pedido y les ruego que se sumen al grupo de activistas que estan pidiendo el respaldo de nuestros representantes al Proyecto I-VAWA. Solo tiene que firmarlo. Es uno de tantos esfuerzos para crear programas que protejan a nuestras mujeres y adolescentes del abuso, la discriminacion, la violencia y el olvido. Nuestros representantes deben respaldar este proyecto. Les ruego que lean esta accion. Gracias por sumarse a esta causa. Humildemente, David Toledo, MA Social Activist & Psychology Teacher   We're closer than ever. Don't stop until the violence against women stops. Urge your members of Congress to support the International Violence Against Women Act. Dear David Toledo: An important bill protecting women's rights has gained a second wind in Congress. We need your voice now to help it pass. Today Congress introduced the International Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA), legislation that will fundamentally address the epidemic of violence against women and girls. Leaders in the House and the Senate are pushing the bill. There's growing bi-partisan support. We have the momentum. Now is the time to act. End the violence against women. Urge your Senator and Representative to co-sponsor I-VAWA. I-VAWA supports innovative programs that are proven to reduce acts of violence: Wartime protections - Increased efforts to prevent violence against women during conflict and in humanitarian settings Services for survivors - expand economic and educational opportunities for abused women and reduce their risk for sexual exploitation Justice - legal reform and commitment to finding and prosecuting perpetrators Challenge public attitudes that permit violence What's happening to girls and women is devastating and outrageous. We have the opportunity and the obligation as human rights defenders to end the atrocities. Smash the odds. Give our girls and women a better chance for a safe, productive life. Move this groundbreaking legislation forward. Ask your Senator and Representative to co-sponsor I-VAWA. Sincerely, Daphne Jayasinghe Advocacy Director, Women's Human Rights Amnesty International USA
