A bipartisan group of senators has sponsored the Central American Women and Children Protection Act, a bill to address the safety of vulnerable people in the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.
The group, which is spearheaded by Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), also includes Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Bob Menendez (D-NJ), Rob Portman (R-OH), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), and Susan Todd Young (R-Ind.). In a series of tweets, Coons cited the need to improve criminal justice systems, support survivors of violence, and support stability in the region. I introduced legislation with @SenRubioPress and @SenatorMenendez to strengthen criminal justice systems and increase access to support services for survivors of violence.
It’s a commonsense, bipartisan proposal that would make a real impact in Central American communities. — Senator Chris Coons (@ChrisCoons) June 14, 2021 Central America has one of the highest rates of gender-based violence in the world.
To promote regional stability and stem migration, we must do more to protect women and children. — Senator Chris Coons (@ChrisCoons) June 14, 2021 According to Sen. Shaheen’s website , the bill seeks to “decrease and deter violence against women and children in the Northern Triangle” and “enhance the enhance the performance and capacity of justice system officials,” in order to set up violence response efforts centered around the victims.
In a statement about the bill on her website, Shaheen said:
“Women and children in Central America are among the most vulnerable populations in the Northern Triangle, facing alarming rates of crime, violence and impunity. The Central American Women and Children Protection Act provides important resources to strengthen criminal justice systems in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. The bill helps combat and prevent violence against women and children, ensure survivors have the resources they need and bolster social and economic development in these nations. Advancing the rights of women around the world is key to achieving global stability and prosperity, and will continue to be one of my top priorities as a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.”

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
