This message is to ask again for your active engagement in our Say NO to Violence against Women campaign.

We have good news to report: We have been issued a challenge — the United Nations Foundation is prepared to contribute $100,000 to the UNIFEM-managed UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women. But there’s a catch. The $100,000 is a challenge grant — $100,000 in exchange for 100,000 names recorded in the “say NO to violence against women” campaign book.

Nearly 18,000 have signed the book and 8,000 of them have asked to be kept informed. The China office alone has already been able to mobilize more than 12,000 people to join the campaign on a separate web site that we hope to be able to soon link live into the campaign. Organizations and individuals from around the world are involved and participating, but we need to let people and organizations know about the challenge and ask once again for their help.

Thank you once again for your support.

Warm regards,

The UNIFEM Singapore Team
