International Violence Against Women's Act (I-VAWA)

On February 4, 2010, The International Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA) was introduced in the Senate (S 2982) and the House of Representatives (HR 4594)!

The International Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA) is an unprecedented effort by the United States to address violence against women globally. It directs the U.S. government to create a comprehensive, 5-year strategy to reduce violence in 10-20 diverse countries identified as having severe levels of violence against women (Amnesty International, 2010).

Click here to see testimony from Pakistani Activist Humaira Shahid who shared powerful remarks in support of I-VAWA and about her work in ending violence against women and girls:

A total of 25 Senators and 33 Members of the House co-sponsored I-VAWA at introduction in Congress.
