Why sign?
Violence against women and girls has reached pandemic proportions. It is estimated that 1 in 3 women and girls may be beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused in their lifetime.
As UNIFEM’s Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman stated recently:
“The Say NO campaign provides people all over the world with an opportunity to add their names to an ever-growing movement of people demanding that ending violence against women be made a top priority for governments around the world.”
By supporting the UNIFEM campaign, YOU can make a difference now!
