Please sign the petition:
The urgency of the crisis cannot be overstated.
Armed groups are effectively using sexual violence as a weapon of war and destruction, inflicting grievous physical, psychological and social harm on women, children and entire communities.
The physical and emotional harm these women and girls face is staggering, and they rarely find the medical and psychological care they so desperately need. While the perpetrators of these horrific crimes move with impunity to their next victims, whole communities live in constant fear of the next wave of violence.
The International Violence Against Women Act (S.2279)
would significantly increase U.S. commitment to ending gender-based violence in the DRC and around the world.
By passing the IVAWA, we will take a significant step toward addressing this type of violence in the DRC and other crisis regions around the world.
