Every day, women and girls around the world are raped, beaten, and even killed, simply because of their gender. We can help stop this—change begins with us.


Join us in July for 31 Days of Action, a month long campaign to raise awareness, inspire action, and pass IVAWA. If passed, IVAWA would make ending violence against women - like the mass rapes still ocurring in the Democratic Republic of Congo - a foreign assistance and policy priority for the first time in U.S. history.

The campaign is simple: each week, we'll provide you a list of quick actions that you can take to raise awareness, educate others or inspire action. Use your voice to urge for change.

Together we can end violence against women worldwide!
