Support the International Violence Against Women Act

The International Violence Against Women Act (IVAWA) is going to be introduced in the House of Representatives on February 4th. This legislation would help ensure that U.S. foreign policy efforts are coordinated so that the best practices for addressing violence against women are incorporated in all areas of our government’s work with other nations. It is being introduced by Rep. Delahunt, a Democrat from Massachusetts, and Rep. Ted Poe, a Republican from Texas. It is very important that this bill continues to have bipartisan support.

Please call your Congressman and ask him to become an original cosponsor of the International Violence Against Women Act. He can contact Celia Richa in Rep. Delahunt’s office or Betsy Huffine on Rep. Poe’s staff.

Once again, you can find out the name and contact information for your Congressman by entering your zipcode at www.house.gov.
