WFAC CAMPAIGNING

A SAFE WORLD - SAY NO TO VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN'

16 days from Nov 25th - Dec 10th

Women for a Change is launching a major campaign asking, WHY - 16 years after a UN resolution condemning violence against women was passed, states continue to allow women to be mistreated.

Together with your help we are organising the following:

• A new forum - seperate to this community - focusing on the campaign issues
• A large widespread internet marketing campaign to bring attention to the important questions we are asking
• A Call for Action - signed by everyone concerned with the issue - to be delivered to relevant bodies
• A live Web Conference sponsored by Clear Skies, in which the issues rasied will be discussed by experts and recording posted for all to view

WE NEED YOUR HELP

We are currently preparing a list of volunteer roles which will be distributed shortly

THE WFAC CENTER

Funding WFAC

Over the last weeks a team has been working on a funding application to help develop the WFAC Centre and run a pilot project in Uganda.

We are pleased to announce that we've received news that we have passed the first stage and our application criteria has been accepted.

Work now starts on the full application which has to be in by Nov 13th.

We've posted an outline of the project for all to see. You can read it here.

A big thank you to Marianne, who recently joined the community, and has brought with her a wealth of project management skills (as well as the support of her friend Frederic who is an IT expert!)

WFAC AT WORK!

On Sunday 18th Oct, WFAC co-founder, Chris, with Country Co-ordinators, Tanya (UK) and Irit (Israel) helped supporter Jo Berry launch her charity Building Bridges for Peace.

Over 100 people attended the event in Brighton UK, the town where Jo's father was murdered by an IRA bomb 25 years ago.

Accompanying Jo at the launch was Pat Magee, the man responsible for planting the bomb which killed her father.

Reformed terrorist, Pat, travels widely with Jo promoting a message of Peace and Dialogue.

Following the formal event, The WFAC volunteers were responsible for an informal gathering afterwards.

HELP BUILD THE WFAC MARKETPLACE

Do you have something to sell?

A book you have written or some music you have made that is listed on Amazon or ITunes?

WFAC is in the process of creating an online ethical marketplace, which will soon have Amazon & ITunes stores as well as the WFAC Cafepress store.

It is a place where everyone can shop, confident that everything is sourced by people with a social conscience, and that proceeds from all purchases go to help women in need.

So how about helping us to decide what we sell? Tell us about your favourite books, music or even toys.

Perhaps you can donate some original artwork, which you’d like to see on T-shirts or in calendars - all over the world - helping to promote our work for women’s empowerment?

Do check out the lovely design created specially for WFAC by our Pakistan coordinator Cmana.

Please Contact Jane Young and visit our WFAC Marketplace group for further information.

Remember, every purchase by you helps to build WFAC funds so shop without any guilt!
