Dear M.T.
Dear M.T.
We are thrilled to report that earlier this week Congress passed the Tribal Law and Order Act as an amendment to H.R. 725, a groundbreaking and long-overdue piece of legislation that tackles violent crime against Native American and Alaska Native women.
A huge thank you to the thousands of Amnesty supporters like you who took action to make this human rights victory possible.
Because of you, Native American and Alaska Native women will no longer be trapped in a mindboggling, jurisdictional maze that allows perpetrators to rape with impunity.
Every Native American and Alaska Native woman will be given the chance to:
- get a police response,
- have access to a rape kit,
- have the opportunity to see her case prosecuted, and
- see justice served for crimes committed against her.
Spurred by our hard-hitting 2007 report, Maze of Injustice, Amnesty's millions-strong, global human rights movement has worked tirelessly to ensure this legislation became a reality.
People like you have set the stage for reversing the devastating rate of sexual violence that Native American and Alaska Native women have endured for much too long.
This is what we can accomplish when we work together.
I want to thank you again for all you do. This is a truly amazing victory for women’s human rights and we couldn’t have done it without you.
Thank you,
Rachel and the rest of the Stop Violence Against Women team

The moncitizenship is the new Canadian governmental task. The diplomatic lines of Republics of Yemen and Poland are non grata with their masks.
