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.<br /><br />Get active against domestic violence as part of the 16 Days of Activism.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Be an activist against domestic violence!<br /><br />Shelter Stories<br />http://aigeneral.c.topica.com/maafojeabuX8gaBtDBBbaeQzEN/<br />www.amnesty.org/actforwomen<br />Take a new action every day to help shelters for domestic violence survivors.<br /><br />March Against Domestic Violence<br />http://aigeneral.c.topica.com/maafojeabuX8haBtDBBbaeQzEN/<br />www.amnesty.org/svaw_dv/march/eng/<br />Play the activist online game and join Amnesty International's virtual march.<br /><br />Break the silence surrounding domestic violence!<br /><br />Look out for posters on campus, and flyers in busy areas for information on domestic violence, and actions you can talk to stop it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4809948522205918562-1451539133729803265?l=humanrightssoc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>HumanRightsSochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14687753565503868756noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809948522205918562.post-67011772250873041542006-11-19T08:35:00.000-08:002006-11-19T08:39:44.265-08:00Hey Everyone,<br /><br />Last event of the year will be part enveloping party, part Christmas party and part last hurrah of the year.<br />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!
