One out of every three women worldwide will be physically, sexually, or otherwise abused during her lifetime. This is unfair, unjust and a violation of basic human rights.

The International Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA) would make ending gender-based violence a priority for U.S. foreign policy and international assistance. So every girl and woman can enjoy a life free of violence and abuse.
