Nightmare In The Congo

Darfur is not the only violent hellhole in Africa right now. Please tell Congress to help stop the epidemic of rape and violence in the Congo. Contact Congress today and ask them to pass the International Violence Against Women Act (IVAWA) immediately.

Hundreds of women are brutally raped, beaten and killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) every day. On October 31, Senators Joseph Biden (D-DE) and Richard Lugar (R-IN) introduced the International Violence Against Women Act (S.2279) — legislation that will increase protection and services for women and girls facing gender based violence, and will direct more U.S. funding to violence prevention abroad.
