Protect Darfur Women and Their Daughters from Abuse and Genocide
Target: President Bush and the UN Secretary-GeneralSponsored by: Save Darfur Coalition
Right now there is a terrible government-sponsored genocide taking place in Darfur, Sudan. Over 2.5 million people have already been driven from their homes and hundreds of thousands more have been brutally murdered by the Janjaweed, a government-sponsored militia.
Darfuri women and girls are under constant threat of rape and physical assault by the Janjaweed. Girls as young as eight risk being raped and attacked when they leave their homes or refugee camps to gather firewood and food. Hungry families face a terrible choice each day - do they send out their husbands and sons who may be killed, or their mothers and daughters, who may be raped and beaten? This is a choice no one should ever have to make!
Please join the Save Darfur Coalition in speaking up for these women and girls who have no voice. Sign the petition asking the UN Secretary-General and President Bush to take immediate steps to stop the genocide.

The United States needs to do everything and use every power to protect people from the brutality of others. It is just brutal and animalistic. Protect Women, Children from rape and abuse. Protect all persons from abuse and genocide!

It is a sad time we live in when we, the world's people, sit idly by and do nothing to aid humanity because we have nothing tangible to gain. God forgive us. IT'S TIME TO DO THE RIGHT THING!

Whenever we give to help people, and our world, it is a giving of thanks. Contributing to improvements in the world's situation is always a joy, never a sacrifice. Plant the seed. You may not see the grown tree, however, know in your heart that your good faith effort will eventually be rewarded with a bountiful harvest.
