so i came across this from Lainie and i thought, what the hell... ok!

what's this about? it is for all who uses communication like chat, email, blog, websites to use it for activism against Violence Against Women (VAW) for 16 days. yes, if u're a blogger, blog about this issue for 16 days. don't have to be serious deep stuffs but could just be ANYTHING, from a single sentence to poems to pictures to anything la.. u don't have to be female to join this but anyones who believes that technology should be used for equality and not violence should join.

The 16 Days Campaign has been used as an organizing strategy by individuals and groups around the world to call for the elimination of all forms of violence against women by:

- raising awareness about gender-based violence as a human rights issue at the local, national, regional and international levels

- strengthening local work around violence against women

- establishing a clear link between local and international work to end violence against women

- providing a forum in which organizers can develop and share new and effective strategies

- demonstrating the solidarity of women around the world organizing against violence against women

- creating tools to pressure governments to implement promises made to eliminate violence against women

*from Center for Women's Global Leadership

so though i'm not that type of person to campaign bout all this but i am a believer and that i believe that violence against women is as bad as VIOLENCE full stop, it's the same as any violence... any problem there's always a solution, we CAN make things happen peacefully without having to use violence as a method of solution....

this will be my lil contribution... at least it's a start right? ;)
