the treaty for the rights of women is the most complete international agreement on basic human rights for women...most countries in the world today have ratified this important treaty, but the united states has not...ergo, i am asking for your help to build support for ratification of the treaty for the rights of women in the united states senate...you see, in nations that have ratified, women have used the treaty as an effective tool to reduce violence and discrimination, to ensure girls and women receive the same access as boys and men to education and health care, and to secure basic legal recourse against violations and abuses of their human rights...
yet despite the treaty's utility and broad support, a few organizations have managed to generate significant numbers of calls and appeals to senate offices in opposition to it...that's why we need your help to get the human rights message to your senator's office...
you can find and join a delegation to meet with your senators near you...participating as a delegation member will take a time commitment of about 3 hours, and entails reading background materials, participating in a practice meeting and participating in the actual meeting...not very hard to become a good citizen-activist...
please note that the actual meeting with your senator's office is likely to be during normal business hours some time between september 24-28, 2007...so click here to find and join a delegation near you...
you'll be glad you did and i'll be as proud of you as i am already...
peace out <3
