Update: Rep. Andrews Joins Efforts to Stop Violence Against Women in Guatemala!

Congressman Robert Andrews (NJ-1) has become the second representative from New Jersey to cosponsor H.Res. 100, a resolution condemning the epidemic of gender-based violence in Guatemala and calling upon the Guatamalan government to take serious meassures to protect women and girls. Andrews had previously supported H.Res. 1081, a similar resolution that was introduced in the fall. Amnesty International is very grateful for his support for the victims and their families.

Congressman Rush Holt has already agreed to cosponsor H.Res. 100.
