00 2013-02-06 Introduced in House 2013-02-26T20:28:55Z Sympathizes with the families of women and children victimized by sexual and other forms of gender-based violence in Haiti.

Urges treatment of the issue of violence against women and children as a priority for U.S. humanitarian and reconstruction efforts in Haiti.

Supports Haiti, especially the Ministry of Women's Affairs, in its efforts to assess and renew its five-year gender protection plan.

Supports passage of Haiti's first comprehensive law on the prevention, punishment, and elimination of gender-based violence.
