Dear
Friends,
We are now 25 Days away from the beginning of the 16 days of Activism 2007!
"DEMANDING IMPLEMENTATION- CHALLENGING OBSTACLES: END VIOLENCE AGAINST
WOMEN"
This year we have highlighted 5 thinking points within the theme:
* Demanding and securing adequate funding for work against
violence
against women (VAW)
* Calling for greater accountability and political
commitment from
states to prevent and punish all forms of
violence against women
* Increasing awareness of the impact of violence against
women,
including engaging men an boys in prevention and
eradication efforts
* Evaluating the Impact and effectiveness of work to prevent
violence against women- identifying the
successes and the gaps
* Securing the space for advocacy and defending the
defenders of
women's human rights in ending gender based
violence
Over the course of the next few weeks, I will open the listserve for
discussion around these five themes dedicating 5 days to each theme and
beginning each segment with a series of thinking points.
31 October-4 November: Demanding and Securing Adequate Funding
5 November-9 November: Calling for greater accountability and political
commitment from states
10 November-14 November: Increasing awareness on the impact of VAW and
engaging men as agents of change
15 November-19 November: Evaluating the impact and effectiveness of work
to end VAW
20 November- 24 November: Securing the space for advocacy and defending
the defenders of women's human rights
I hope these discussions will help generate activism and dialog during
this year's Campaign!!
