Say No To Violence Against Women
UNIFEM, the United Nations Fund for Women, is looking for signatures on a Petition to Say NO to Violence Against Women. If they can get 100,000 signatures then the United Nations Foundation has committed that for each of the first 100,000 signatures to the campaign, the UN Foundation will donate $1 to the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women. We need everyone's help to get 100,000 people to sign on to the UNIFEM campaign so that $100,000 will be contributed to the Trust Fund for local initiatives working to prevent human trafficking, assisting survivors of domestic violence or helping implement laws against rape.
Please sign the petition at:
www.saynotoviolence.org
Also, check out one organization that works throughout Nicaragua to end violence against women, the Red de Mujeres Contra la Violencia.
Thank you for your solidarity,
Laura
