Addresses definition, causes, prevalence, and consequences of violence against women (VAW).

Outlines policy considerations for the 110th Congress, including scope and effectiveness of current U.S. programs, further integrating anti-VAW programs into U.S. assistance and foreign policy mechanisms, strengthening U.S. government coordination of international anti-VAW activities, and collaborating with international organizations such as the UN on anti-VAW efforts; and addresses more general current and emerging issues.
