Say NO Event
UNIFEM sponsored an event on Day 2 - over in the new building - It was related to the global call for actions on ending violence against women and girls. The message Say NO was used in very creative ways. We heard about the Girl Guides organizing a Poster Campaign - which will be widely promoted. The poster must be displayed - and entered into the contest. There will be some prize awarded by UNIFEM. I know Kirsten Ramsey will be interested in this, and maybe our UNIFEM chapter can be helpful in some way.
Urjasi Rudra, from UNIFEM is very supportive, and our Winnipeg Chapter has used the site. We spoke about our upcoming Local to Global event, and possible ways we could make more use of the site (www.saynotoviolence.org)
There have been over 180,000 "actions" on the site to date.
