March 8th marks International Women's Day, a day to celebrate the economic, political, and social achievements of women around the world and to advocate for those women who experience violence and discrimination because of their gender . In the week following this important day, join with Amnesty International supporters across the United States to call on Congress to support legislation that will help stop the violence against women. According to the UN, approximately one in three women is beaten, raped or otherwise abused in her lifetime. With your help, and with your calls, we will pass legislation that will help stop the abuse and bring perpetrators to justice.
