The Blog provides regular summaries of media reports on issues of concern to Idaho voters, specifically on women’s health, equal pay, and renewal of the Violence Against Women Act.
In addition, the site provides useful links to Internet resources relating to these issues, and to organizations actively involved in education and advocacy of securing rights associated with the issues.

Other features include a running news feed of breaking stories on the issues, and a YouTube video archive that provides access to video postings on women’s rights.
