"Violence Against Women in Politics"
There is no existing Wikipedia article on this particular subject (based on some of the keyword searches I have done), yet it is an important and growing issue. Violence against female politicians is another form of violence against women, which has garnered more attention over recent decades, but still has not been adequately addressed. This is also an important topic for women considering entering politics.

"Masculinity"
This article has numerous notations for claims that need clarifications, or are dubious claims, or are lacking in citation, which offers ample room for growth and improvement. In the 20th-century to present section, there is little discussion of masculinity and politics, which is an important topic; perhaps there are enough sources to warrant an entirely new article devoted to masculinity in politics.

"Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000"
There is a lot that can be added to this page, including more citations, a more detailed history, and the impacts and limitations of the act. The article primarily focuses on what the act can do for undocumented immigrants, but less so on its applicability to U.S. citizens.
