IFUW In Focus

IFUW is a launch partner for UNIFEM's campaign Say No to Violence against Women. The United Nations Foundation has announced that it will donate $1 for each of the first 100,000 signatures to the UNIFEM-managed UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women. To read more about the challenge click here. We encourage all IFUW members to participate! Every signature will result in a donation of $1, so please sign here. Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman urges you to add your name to the UNIFEM virtual book to join hundreds of thousands of participants who are sending a strong message to all governments that the issue of ending violence against women must be placed high on the global agenda. For information on IFUW NFA action against violence please see our No Violence page and our Advocacy page.
