 Wicem will add her policy for strong feminism.

She will propose a "police by night" for avoiding the rapes and murders against the girls and women in the streets between 7 pm and 7 AM. When a woman is in the street in a late hour, she is in danger because of "the men who can attack these ladies".

A policy will protect the wives if they risk domestic violence. A green phone number by SMS in order to warn a danger with the husband.

We can hope a portrait of a great woman from this county too. And let's pay the same wage for a woman and for a man.

"Lady Global Courses" should be a kind of school and for an affordable learning, reserved to the female gender. At the end, we can work in the big business, we can launch a big media, we can be a great leader.

Wicem Gindrey will be manager for his candidate and she can create great graphic designs, speeches, videos... 

Recently the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was finally passed by the Congress and signed into law by President Biden.  The provisions of the bill are a good start for dealing with the problem but there is so much more that needs to be done.  April is National Sexual Assault Prevention Awareness Month.  It is particularly important to focus on this problem this year because the numbers of sexual assault and domestic violence have increased during the pandemic.  Please read this graphic to familiarize yourself with the ways in which this violence can be dealt with.

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) has been reauthorized with first of it's kind LGBTQ+ program!

 President Joe Biden signed the FY 2022 Omnibus Appropriations Act into law, which includes the strong, bipartisan Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).

In addition to strong provisions to ensure survivors' access to healing services and programs to prevent sexual violence, the bill increases the funding for Sexual Assault Services Programs, Rape Prevention and Education Programs, and Culturally Specific Services Programs.

Statement from Debbie Deland, Florida NOW President:

“Florida NOW celebrates the bi-partisan reauthorization of the 1994 Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). VAWA is essential to providing resources to victims of domestic and sexual violence and ending gendered based violence.

“We applaud that this reauthorization creates the first grant program dedicated to LGBTQ+ survivors and hope the VAWA Tribal provisions will restore justice for Native American communities.

“We thank the survivors, advocates, policy leaders, congressional staff with Senate and House leaders who worked so hard to get VAWA reauthorized despite the road blocks since it’s expiration in 2019.

“We enthusiastically thank Joe Biden for his long support and leadership with VAWA as well as all the co-sponsors of the Act like Senators Feinstein, Ernst, Durbin, and Murkowski. Implementing the VAWA at state and local levels is next, and we will be ready here in Florida to do our part.”

Among many important and lifesaving advancements, this legislation:

• Creates the first grant program dedicated to LGBTQ+ domestic violence and sexual assault survivors.
• Significantly increases the authorization of several VAWA programs including the Sexual Assault Services Program, Rape Prevention & Education Program, Rural Program, Culturally Specific Services Program, and the Campus Grants Program.
• Reaffirms the sovereignty of tribes to hold non-Indian offenders of sexual violence accountable on tribal lands.
• Expands the availability of sexual assault forensic examinations for survivors of sexual assault some of whom currently must drive hours to reach the nearest services.
• Addresses campus sexual assault including requiring climate survey.  Allows for direct payments to survivors for their emergency needs through the Sexual Assault Services Program.

• Invests in restorative practices for survivors looking for additional pathways for accountability.
