The deadline for online signatures on UNIFEM’s petition to the U.N. to fight violence against women is fast approaching- it’s November 24th to be exact. They’re already over halfway to their goal of one million signatures, but they still need a lot more. If you haven’t already, please take a moment to add your name.
UNIFEM Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman has been working with the organization to help get the word out, and she has traveled to some of the areas where women face the most violence to see what they go through firsthand. Here are a few clips in which she answers some questions about UNIFEM’s campaign.

It is a scary thought that in our enlightened day and age that women are still suffering like this. We as women should do everything that we can to stop this violence. My deepest respect for both Nicole Kidman and UNIFEM - I am going to add my signature right now.
