From Nicole Kidman

Hi All, on Saturday the 24th of November, began the WHITE RIBBON DAY, 16 Days of no Violence against Women and Children..........

This here is a Message by the UNIFEM Goodwill Ambassador


Hello,
>
> One in 3 women may suffer from abuse and violence in her lifetime. This is
> an appalling human rights violation. But we can put a stop to this. As the
> Goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations Development Fund for Women,
> UNIFEM, I am asking you to "say NO to violence against women" by joining
> our internet-based global advocacy effort. Widespread participation by
> people in every country sends a strong message to governments around that
> world that ending violence against women must be a top priority. Please
> help us demonstrate that hundreds of thousands - even millions - demand
> action and insist on resources for programs that prevent, protect and
> provide services for survivors. How can you do it? By adding your name to
> our book ... by sending on to friends, family and colleagues so they can
> join. I became UNIFEM's Goodwill Ambassador to amplify the voices of the
> women and girls who have been subjected to violence and abuse. That is why
> I was the first to sign up my name for this important campaign. Please add
> your name to mine. It's easy and it's fast. A special website has been
> created at http://www.saynotoviolence.org/ where you will be able to sign
> on. The more names we collect, the stronger our case to put ending
> violence against women on the top of the agenda and making the world a
> safer place for women.
>
> Thank you for joining me.
