Say NO to Violence against Women on 26 November

Colleagues! We have to say "No" to violence against women on 26/11/2007!

On Monday, 26 November, UNIFEM and UNIFEM Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman are launching an internet campaign asking people all over the world to raise their voices and add their names to an ever-growing movement of people saying NO to violence against women. The more names we collect, the stronger our case to make ending violence against women a top priority for governments everywhere. When the sign-on email arrives on 26 November, join Ms. Kidman and let survivors of violence around the world know that they can count on us. Click www.saynotoviolence.org on or after November 26th and say NO to violence against women. And please, forward to frien ds and colleagues.

Thank You!

E-Discussion on Eliminating Violence Against Women in Politics

Enviado por haley.paige.horan el Mar, 2007-12-04 21:00.

The International Knowledge Network of Women in Politics is pleased invite you to join its first moderated E-Discussion on Eliminating Violence Against Women in Politics, to take place from 10-14 December 2007. Violence or the threat of violence has been identified by members of iKNOW Politics community -as well as through global and regional meetings of women politicians and their supporters sponsored by iKNOW partner organizations- as a significant impediment to women’s political participation. While crimes of violence against women in politics are receiving increasing international attention, the attention is often limited to high profile cases, while the overall scale of such violence – including violence occurring at the local level - remains underreported and under documented. It is in this context that we launch the E-Discussion on Eliminating Violence Against Women in Politics, aiming to strengthen the knowledge base on violence against women in politics. To participate in the discussion, visit www.iknowpolitics.org and create an account. After creating an account you may subscribe to the e-discussion forum by clicking on the “E-Discussion” link in the right menu bar on the iKNOW Politics homepage. Please contact connect@iknowpolitics.org with any questions. iKNOW Politics, the first global networking platform for women political leaders and their supporters, is a joint initiative of UNIFEM, UNDP, NDI, IPU and International IDEA.
