Events Coming Up! | Join us on February 9th for a webinar featuring Ellie Smeal and Sandra Fluke! | Dear Friend, It is not too late to join the campaign to End Violence against Women! We are all-too-familiar with the statistics. Every two minutes, a woman in the United States is sexually assaulted. One in three women -- that's One Billion women worldwide -- will be sexually assaulted or abused in their lifetime. This is just unacceptable. Join us this week to speak out and take action. On Saturday, February 9th GlobalSolutions.org will host the webinar: Ending Violence Against Women. Join us to discuss the global epidemic of gender-based violence with Ellie Smeal of the Feminist Majority and Sandra Fluke, women's rights activist and TIME Magazine-nominated Person of the Year! Webinar is free and will take place from 1-2pm EST. Reserve your spot today! Register here: http://globalsolutions.org/evaw Then, on Thursday, February 14th we will join One Billion Rising at rallies across the country to demand an end to violence against women and push for the ratification of CEDAW, the Women's Treaty. Join an existing event or start your own! Contact Arielle at aweaver@globalsolutions.org to find an event and get a copy of your free rally toolkit-with signs, stickers, t-shirts, and other materials. We're aiming to take 1,000 actions to speak out about violence against women by International Women's Day on March 8. We're almost halfway there! Please help us keep the momentum going. All of us as global citizens have the power to put an end to violence against women, as part of our broader efforts to build a more responsible world. Let's get started! Thanks for all you do, Arielle Weaver Membership and Advocacy Coordinator |
