"Say NO - UNiTE is proof that there is a global groundswell for ending violence against women." — UN Women Executive Director Michelle Bachelet.
25 November, New York – More than 1 million actions have been registered with the Say NO – UNiTE to End Violence against Women initiative of the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM, part of UN Women). The online effort (saynotoviolence.org) was launched one year ago to provide a platform for individuals, civil society groups and governments to showcase and record their activities on the issue. It is a direct contribution to the UN Secretary-General’s campaign UNiTE to End Violence against Women.
The milestone registration of actions coincides with today’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. “I am thrilled that Say NO – UNiTE has surpassed 1 million actions,” said UN Women Executive Director Michelle Bachelet. “I signed on to Say NO as President of Chile, knowing that public commitments like this go a long way. Say NO – UNiTE is proof that there is a global groundswell for ending violence against women.”
People from 227 countries and territories have visited Say NO – UNiTE. More than 300 civil society groups engage through action pages that highlight their activities and allow people who visit to sign on and express support or otherwise get involved.
