Women's Action League

Women's Advocacy and International Sex Trafficking Policy Reform

Description

Women's Action League charges into Josh's office skirmish, co-signing Amy Gardner's razor-sharp letter that torches the UN prostitution treaty's 'forced' qualifier for sabotaging sex trafficking prosecutions. Abbey Bartlet brandishes this document as unassailable indictment, forcing Josh's pragmatic walls to crack under advocacy fire. They embody women's groups' fierce vigilance, demanding treaty language broad enough to ensnare all traffickers preying on coerced victims, catapulting the White House into a vortex of moral reckoning and policy paralysis where semantics bleed into justice.
