Elimination Violence Against Women
In Recognition of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, The Women Safe Abroad Project of the GWC Violence Against Women Team will conduct a very special interview with the leaders of Pathways to Safety, the only organization created specifically to support US victims of violence while living, traveling or working abroad. Violence against women and girls is a persistent pandemic that often remains silenced and in the shadows. The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is a day of awareness and action. We urge you to participate in the 16 days of activism developed by UN WOmen and join the GWC and Pathways to Safety event.
Sign the Petition
When Virginia became the 38th state to ratify the ERA on January 27, 2020, all constitutional requirements for the ERA to become the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution were satisfied. Yet, the ERA has not been published by the Archivist, who is deferring to the opinion issued by the previous Administration’s Office of Legal Counsel. The GWC is urging Attorney General Merrick Garland to take the immediate action of directing his newly confirmed Director of the Office of Legal Counsel, Christopher Schroeder, to withdraw the January 6, 2020 opinion memo from the Attorney General Barr Department of Justice. Please sign the ERA Coalition's public petition to the Attorney General, asking him to correct this error and let history be made.

GWC November 2021 Newsletter
Letter from the Editor
There is not a day that goes by that the Global Women’s Caucus is not aware of the immense threats to the rights of women and girls all over the world, however the ability to act on every development, or appreciate every advance, is difficult to do. Awareness doesn’t always involve an act, per se, but rather also a clear intention to be well informed. By gathering information from reputable sources and understanding how to express that information, we can all be warriors against mis and disinformation. As we celebrate holidays, once again in person with our loved ones, the GWC invites you to practice awareness as we both recognize the threats to women all over the world and discuss ways to alleviate these threats.
This GWC newsletter is taking on a different look to accommodate our growing caucus, but some elements still remain. Check out our Artist’s Corner and read ERA excerpts written by our members.
We hope you enjoy this edition, and we look forward to seeing you at our events!
