Join the International Campaign
to Stop Rape in Conflict
We are writing to you
today to invite you to join us in The
International Campaign to Stop Rape & Gender Violence in Conflict.
An alarming number of
women and girls around the world experience sexual violence. From Congo
and Kenya to Burma and Colombia, rape is used as a weapon to humiliate people
and tear apart communities. Organizations and individuals – like yourself –
have been working long and hard to stop gender violence and support women. The
Campaign will bring us together to demand action from our governments to stop rape and gender violence in
conflict. We know it is a huge and daunting challenge but…now’s
the time!
Together we will demand
bold political leadership to prevent
rape in conflict, to protect
civilians and rape survivors, and call for justice for all, including effective
prosecution
of those responsible. Learn more about
the Campaign here.
If you haven’t already, join the
Campaign to show your support as we prepare for our launch week:
May 6 – 13.
It’s less than a month away! The Nobel Peace Laureates of the Nobel Women’s
Initiative and the Campaign
Advisory Committee have been busy preparing launch activities.
We'd love to have you stand with us.
Join today,
and on May 6th visit http://nobelwomensinitiative.org/international-campaign-to-stop-rape-and-gender-violence-in-conflict/
to add your own personal pledge to share what you will do in support of the
Campaign within your community.
