We have 2 weeks left to impress the UN Security Council with a strong call to end sexual violence in conflict and ensure that women are part of peace talks that affect their lives.
Take a stand today: sign the petition before October 21, urging governments to implement UN Security Council Resolution 1325 that ensures women’s participation in peace-building.
In today’s wars, ninety percent of casualties are civilians, and women and children suffer the most. Increasingly, they are direct targets of sexual violence. Yet among peace negotiators, women average at less than 8 percent. As a result, their needs and priorities are sidelined.
You can make a difference!
• Sign the petition
• Have your say on Facebook, Twitter and blogs
• Post the 1325 banner or web button on your websites, social networking sites and blogs to spread the word
There’s no peace without women’s peace. We are counting on you!
