16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is an international campaign to challenge violence against women and girls. The campaign runs every year from 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to 10 December, Human Rights Day. Recently there has emerged serious allegations of sexual abuse by members of the U.S. Executive and Legislative Branches. These "scandals" have prompted women (and some men) to share their own stories about sexual harassment and domestic violence. Meanwhile, there is a little told story about USCIS: in accordance with U.S. law, particularly the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), USCIS provides relief for immigrant victims of domestic violence, human trafficking, and female genital mutilation. We the People demand our inalienable right to live in freedom and without fear. We the People demand justice and embrace the rule of law. In observation of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, US Citizenship Podcast will post resources related to civics, immigration, and gender-based violence. We will also feature resources appropriate for English language learners and multi-lingual materials. Go to http://bit.ly/16DaysforImmigrants2018 (updated)
