Presentation of "The Story of Stuff"

Say No to Violence Against Women
Say No to Violence against WomenStatistics indicate that as many as one in three women worldwide will experience violence in her lifetime. Too often, this violence occurs with impunity for perpetrators and inadequate access to support for survivors.
UNIFEM has been a leading advocate for decisive action to address the multiple manifestations of gender-based violence—whether it be domestic violence, human trafficking or systematic rape in conflict zones. According to acting UNIFEM Executive Director, Joanne Sandler, "As long as violence is pervasive and women do not dare to accuse their abusers, the issue needs to be much more prominent in the public debate."
We are invited to join our voices to provide much needed support in developing countries to advance the implementation of laws and policies to end violence against women. This campaign ends on March 8th, International Women's Day.

"The longer we listen to one another - with real attention - the more commonality we will find in all our lives. That is, if we are careful to exchange with one another life stories and not simply opinions." -Barbara Deming
