Stop Domestic Violence

Domestic violence happens everywhere. It affects someone near you. At least 1 in 3 women has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime. Usually, the abuser is a member of her own family or someone known to her.

Get active against domestic violence as part of the 16 Days of Activism.

Kicking off on November 25 - International Day Against Violence Against Women – make the human rights of women your business. For 16 days, until December 10 - Human Rights Day – you can take a different action every day. Tell the world about this human rights scandal and make governments act on their obligations to women.

Be an activist against domestic violence!

Hey Everyone,

Last event of the year will be part enveloping party, part Christmas party and part last hurrah of the year.
Come along to the King's Head(on shop street) on Tuesday the 21st around half 8, free finger food, good conversation and lots of..em..stamp licking! We are getting ready to send off the 162(!) postcards we got signed during Darfur Awareness Week, and need all the hands we can get to help get everything ready.
Come along for as long as you can, have some fun and do some good.

See you Tuesday!
