up to one in three women globally will be beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime...that's one of the statistics we took to michael schultz at senator lamar alexander's nashville office last tuesday...on the monday prior, a week agao today, amnesty international organized a lobby day to ask congress for their help in stopping violence against women...
one victim of this violence, bárbara italia méndez was arrested, beaten and raped by the mexican federal police in may 2006...no explanation was given...two years later none of the officials responsible for the sexual violence have been prosecuted...
support the necessary post-lobby day work by sending a message to congress that violence against women must end...
help pass the international violence against women act
stop the impunity and demand justice for bárbara italia méndez and the women of atenco, mexico
peace out <3
