Say NO - UNiTE

Soroptimist International is a Launch Partner for this new UNIFEM initiative and on behalf of Programme Director Dawn Marie please find links and information about
Say NO - UNiTE below:

Building on the momentum of the first phase, Say NO - UNiTE will now shift its focus on showcasing and counting actions online and on the ground, towards ending violence against women and girls.

Whether it is signatures for a petition, participants at an event to raise awareness, or outreach to school children for prevention… every action will count towards a global groundswell of activism on the issue.

UNIFEM have built an interactive web platform where advocates and organizations can build their own web pages and highlight their initiatives. This way, you can reach your national/local audiences and spread the word around the world – linking local and global advocacy on the issue. The initial goal is to reach 100,000 actions by March 2010 and 1 million actions in one year:
