Add Your Name to End Violence Against Women!

Target: Women all over the World
Sponsored by: UN Foundation, UN Development Fund for Women
One in three women may suffer from abuse and violence in her lifetime. Perhaps the most pervasive human rights violation that we know today, it devastates lives, fractures communities and stalls development.

We have begun to break the wall of silence by moving the issue onto public agendas everywhere. To bolster our cause, we need your support to show that there is an ever-growing movement of people who demand decisive action on ending violence against women.

The UN Foundation and the UN Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) have supported efforts to link activists and advocates around the world and show how small innovative projects can impact laws, policies and attitudes. This work is supported through the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women that was established in 1996 by the UN General Assembly, and is managed by UNIFEM.

Let survivors of violence around the world know that they can count on us. The UN Foundation will give $1 to UNIFEM for each new person that signs on to the Say NO to Violence against Women Campaign.

Join Nicole Kidman, UNIFEM's Goodwill Ambassador, and add your name to the movement to say NO to violence against women.

This is an age-old problem and is still not considered a priority. Not all women "ask for ut!'

As a domestic violence facilitator for many years, I have made it my purpose to work with issues re/D.V. and make a difference in people's lives in order to break the cycle. I have seen people's lives turn around: victims and perpetrators. Please continue to be an active participant to end violence against women any way you can.

Women need some protection from violent males, sometimes there are no options but to flee and then become homeless. The UN would need to provide shelters for abused women.
