Take action: send President Obama a virtual candle!

Tell President Obama to #BreakBarriers and ensure that the U.S. is a leader in providing comprehensive post-rape care, including safe abortion services, to survivors of sexual violence in conflict.

Around the world, women and girls who survive rape in conflict are too often unable to access the care that they need because of U.S. political barriers to safe abortion. During the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, join CHANGE in an online vigil in support of women and girls raped in conflict. Send a message to President Obama by posting on Facebook and tweeting, urging him to break barriers to comprehensive post-rape care, including safe abortion services, to survivors of sexual violence in conflict.

Tag @POTUS, and use #HelmsHurts and #BreakBarriers in your posts.
