The Inter­na­tional Vio­lence Against Women Act (I-VAWA) is the first com­pre­hen­sive piece of leg­is­la­tion in the United States aimed at end­ing vio­lence against women and girls around the world. It would improve our government’s response when women are vic­tims of sex traf­fick­ing and rape dur­ing war and would pro­vide aid to women’s groups on the ground work­ing to help sur­vivors of domes­tic and sex­ual vio­lence. It would focus resources on pre­ven­tion and ensure that dol­lars are used in the most effec­tive ways pos­si­ble. In some coun­tries, it truly could mean the dif­fer­ence between life and death for a woman or girl. We are ask­ing that Mem­bers of Con­gress cospon­sor this impor­tant piece of legislation.
