Annual Walks
 |
We recently completed our second annual 5K walks to raise funds for the UN Trust Fund. Through UN Trust Fund to end violence against women, UNIFEM has distributed more than $50 million to 304 initiatives in 121 countries since 1997. UN Trust Fund project support the implementation of national laws, policies and action plans that address ending violence against women and girls. For instance: In Cambodia, the Fund supports a women's organization created a radio program to inform their listeners of laws and services to protect women from violence. Prior to the broadcast, two thirds of their listeners did not know that marital rape was a crime.; In Albania, the Fund support national and regional coalitions that combat trafficking of women and girls.; In Chile, Rwanda and India, the Fund projects are engaging men to find solutions and to end gender-based violence. Join the Say No campaign and take an action today. UNiTE with others to end violence against women and girls. E-mail us at northcarolina@unifem-usnc.org if you want to join us for the spring 2011 walks/runs in the RTP and Wilmington area. We hope to have the 5K walk/run at the Hugh McRae Park in Wilmington and at the Al Buehler Trail at Duke University in Durham again. See the photos from 2010 walks. We also want to thank the sponsors again! |
