“Venezuela is dragging its feet in establishing a support system for battered women, Amnesty International said in a report issued Wednesday.

President Hugo Chavez’s government passed new domestic violence legislation in March 2007 requiring that, among other things, Venezuela’s 23 states and more than 300 municipalities construct women’s shelters.”*
