2.Congress makes the following
findings:
(1)According to the
United Nations, approximately 1 out of every 3 women in the world has been
beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime. The World Health
Organization reports that in some countries, up to 70 percent of women report
having been victims of domestic violence at some stage in their lives.
(2)According to the
United Nations, engaging both men and women in all efforts to end violence
against women and girls internationally should be a priority. In recognition of
this, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon launched a multi-year
campaign in 2009 to end violence against women and pledge resources to engage
male leaders and mobilize men and boys.
(3)Violence against
women dramatically impedes progress in meeting global health goals, including
efforts to stem maternal mortality and the spread of HIV/AIDS. Approximately 1
in 4 women are abused during pregnancy, which, according to the World Health
Organization, has been linked to miscarriage, pre-term labor, low birth weight
and fetal distress or death. Women who have experienced violence are also at
higher risk for contracting HIV, and women living with HIV may be up to three
times more likely to experience violence than HIV-negative women. Fear of
violence also prevents women from accessing HIV/AIDS information and receiving
treatment and counseling.
(4)Women’s increased
access to economic opportunities is crucial to the prevention of and response
to domestic and sexual violence. Both microfinance-based interventions and
increased asset control have been shown to reduce levels of intimate partner
violence in addition to providing economic independence for survivors.
(5)Displaced,
refugee, and stateless women and girls in humanitarian emergencies, conflict
settings, and natural disasters face extreme violence and threats because of
power inequities, including being forced to exchange sex for food and
humanitarian supplies, and being at increased risk of rape, sexual
exploitation, and abuse.
(6)Rape and sexual
assault against women and girls are used to torture, intimidate, and terrorize
women and their communities.
3.It is the policy of the
United States to—
(1)systematically
integrate and coordinate efforts to prevent and respond to violence against
women and girls internationally into United States foreign policy and foreign
assistance programs, and to expand implementation of effective practices and
programs;
(2)promote women’s
political, economic, educational, social, cultural, civil, and human rights and
opportunities throughout the world;
(3)support and build
the capacity of indigenous nongovernmental organizations that are working to
prevent and respond to violence against women and girls internationally,
particularly women’s nongovernmental organizations, and to support and
encourage United States organizations working in partnership with such
nongovernmental organizations;
(4)prevent and
respond to violence against women and girls internationally through
multisectoral methods, working at individual, family, community, local,
national, and international levels and incorporating service, prevention,
training, and advocacy activities and economic, education, health, legal, and
protective intervention services;
(5)enhance training
and other prevention and response to violence against women and girls
internationally in humanitarian relief, conflict, and post-conflict
settings;
(6)enhance training
by United States personnel of professional foreign military and police forces
and judicial officials to include specific and thorough instruction on
preventing and responding to violence against women and girls
internationally;
(7)increase
communication and cooperation with nongovernmental organizations with
demonstrated experience in empowerment of women and combating violence against
women and girls internationally, including consulting with such organizations
during strategic planning exercises;
(8)more regularly
engage men and boys as community leaders and advocates in ending violence
against women and girls;
(9)ensure private
security firms contracted for service in conflict, humanitarian and
post-conflict settings appropriately report on and respond to violence against
women and girls internationally; and
(10)continue United
States leadership and innovative efforts at the United Nations to address
violence against women and girls internationally, particularly through urging
the United Nations Secretary-General and United Nations member states to fully
implement the provisions of United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1325,
1820, and 1888 and other relevant United Nations agreements and
initiatives.
