Baha’is support UNIFEM campaign to end violence against women

The U.S. Baha’i community is adding its support to UNIFEM’s “Say no to violence against women” campaign by helping to collect 100,000 signatures.

For each of the first 100,000 signatures to the campaign, the UN Foundation will donate $1 to the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women. By passing the word and encouraging people to sign on, up to $100,000 will be contributed to the Trust Fund for local initiatives working to prevent human trafficking, assisting survivors of domestic violence or helping implement laws against rape.

Nicole Kidman, UNIFEM goodwill ambassador and spokesperson for the campaign, says “We know gathering 100,000 names is definitely a challenge, but we know that together we can do it. So please join me once again. Let’s renew our efforts to reach out to our organizations, colleagues, friends and family and encourage them to sign on at www.saynotoviolence.org. Let’s show the world that there is an ever-growing movement of people who say “NO” to violence against women. Click and be counted.”
