Summary: Statement delivered by Adrienne Germain, President, International Women's Health Coalition, before the Thirty-Eighth Session of the United Nations Commission on Population and Development, New York, April 4, 2005 (2 pages).

I walked alongside women, men, youth, and young children at a One in Nine Campaign march earlier this month in Cape Town, South Africa to protest the failure of justice systems worldwide to protect victims of sexual assault, gender-based violence, and murder. 

Dear U.S. Presidential Candidates,
Women have taken center stage in this year's race for the next President of the United States. We're not just talking about Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton-increasingly, election coverage has focused on women's roles in national security and foreign policy, the importance of the women voters, and debates over what constitutes sexism.
