On October 31, 2007 a new bill developed by Senators Joe Biden and Richard Lugar that would help empower millions of women to escape violence and poverty, the International Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA, S.2279) was introduced in the U.S. Senate. Help make it a reality for women worldwide! It's a big bill with a lot in it – from establishing several new key offices focused on women at State, to mandating the inclusion of VAWA statistics in human-rights reports, to making it the foreign policy of the U.S. to prioritize work against VAWA and to work with other world governments.
