Say No to Violence Against Women!

"Approximately one in three of the world's women will experience gender-related violence in her lifetime. As a church and a community of caring citizens, Adventists are using the enditnow campaign to make a formal stand against this terrible reality and to encourage the people around them to do the same." Jonathan Duffy, Chief Executive Officer, ADRA Australia.

You too can be part of this world-wide initiative. Simply by helping ADRA and Women's Ministries in the South Pacific to collect at least 25,500 signatures, you are insisting that violence against women is unacceptable.

You can take this stand right now, by signing the petition to the UN. The signatures on this petition will be presented to the United Nations to draw attention to the issues and advocate for the creation of new policies that protect women and girls. Sign the petition before 28 August 2010, Abuse Prevention Emphasis Day.

Have you already signed the petition? Then let us know.
