Dear Friends,

There are less than 3 weeks to go before UNIFEM will hand over all signatures to the Say NO to Violence against Women campaign to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. So far, more than 490,000 people have added their names. This is an enormous show of support, yet we are still aiming for 1 million signatures.

Today, we would like to ask you to spread the word further and encourage 3 friends to sign up. Ask them to join an ever-growing movement of people who demand that violence against women be a top priority for governments around the world at:

I send energy for health and the ability for we women to come together. We must unite to save woman in danger. What can I do?
