[RED DEMOCRATICA] Take action to stop violence against girls

 

Hi,

I've been shocked to learn about some of the violent threats girls and women around the world face -- simply because they are girls.

It's estimated that one out of every three women will be physically, sexually or otherwise abused during her lifetime, with rates reaching 70 percent in some countries. Young girls face increased risk of abuse, trafficking, and violence at school. Women are victims of honor killings and rape, especially in conflict zones.

But there is hope for women and girls around the world – if we act quickly.

Right now, Congress is considering a bill called the International Violence Against Women Act (HR 4594, S 2982) that would strengthen programs to prevent violence and hold violent abusers accountable.

I just sent a message to my Representative urging them to support this bill.

Will you join me in standing up for women and girls and send your own message today?

It only takes a minute, but your letter can be a powerful reminder to our leaders that women and girls need our help.

Thank you.
