[Mitai-announce] Catastrophic Violence Against Women: Act now!

[Kayvan Zainabadi]

The epidemic of rape and sexual violence in the
war-torn country of the Democratic Republic of Congo
(DRC) is a humanitarian catastrophe.

The urgency of the crisis cannot be overstated. Take
Action >>

The physical and emotional harm these women and girls
face is staggering, and they rarely find the medical
and psychological care they so desperately need.

While the perpetrators of these horrific crimes
move with impunity to their next victims, whole
communities live in constant fear of the next wave of
violence.

The International Violence Against Women Act (S.2279)
would significantly increase U.S. commitment to ending
gender-based violence in the DRC and around the
world.

By passing the IVAWA, we will take a significant step toward
addressing this type of violence in the DRC and other crisis
regions around the world.

Tell the Senate to pass this legislation immediately! >>

catastrophe.
