Dear Friends,

Please join me and the staff of the Center for Women's Global Leadership in welcoming Sadia Hameed as our new Coordinator of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence campaign.  Sadia will also be an integral part of CWGL's overall advocacy work on violence against women.  We are pleased to add her to our staff as she has strong campaigning experience and considerable knowledge about violence against women.

Sadia comes to us most recently from Amnesty International's International Secretariat in London, where she was part of the staff team working on the Stop Violence Against Women campaign, and where she also was a campaigner on human rights more generally in South Asia.  In addition to her work on various aspects of VAW, Sadia focused on torture and abuses committed in the global war on terror; discrimination and persecution of minorities on the basis of ethnicity, race, religion, gender and sexuality; and on transitional justice and post conflict reconstruction in Afghanistan.

Sadia officially started at CWGL this week, and she's hit the ground running.  You'll be hearing more from her and from us as 16 Days of Activism plans develop over the next few weeks and months.  We also hope to hear from you soon as you develop your plans for the campaign.

Warmly,

Charlotte Bunch
