International Violence Against Women Act

Violence against women is a major cause of poverty and a huge barrier to economic opportunity. In addition to being an extreme human rights violation, it keeps women from getting an education, working, and earning the income they need to lift their families out of poverty. The International Violence Against Women Act, if passed, would consistently incorporate solutions for reducing violence against women into U.S. foreign assistance programs.
