Take Action: Protect Women Survivors of Violence and the Right To Health Care Services

According to Amnesty International USA "Worldwide, at least one of every three women – nearly one billion women – will be beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime, whether at the hands of family members, government security forces, or armed rebels. Urge President Bush to help stop violence against women and girls, address the needs of survivors of violence, and lift US restrictions on health care services worldwide."

You can take action by going to the AIUSA Action Center and sending a letter or email to President Bush and asking him to life current restrictions on health education and services, often referred to as the "Global Gag Rule."
