Global call to support Anti Violence Against Women Act (AVAWA)
About
African Views – CSW59 – Act Anti Violence against Women Release
Pink Africa Movement
This is a campaign to collect public signatures from the international community as endorsement on the petition to adopt “Anti Violence Against Women Act (AVAWA).”
The AVAWA is a non-intrusive diplomatic strategy to mitigate as well as make ending all forms of discrimination, abuse and violence against women or girls a top priority for African States.
The AVAWA suggests that the African States’ governments honor the existing provision for women as stated in their constitutions with a comprehensive, multi-sectorial strategic national plan for reducing and ending violence against women.
You can sign the petition by filling out this link.
The signatures will be used to increase lobby efforts among working groups to demonstrate why African States should adopt AVAWA, as well as encourage workgroups to conduct relative strategic programs addressing the challenges of VAW and promoting AVAWA in Africa.
A copy of the well-researched presentation provided during the African Views parallel program to commemorate the 59th session on the Convention on the Status of Women with the United Nations is made available at this link:
Detail information about the AVAWA is provided to guide the world public through the full understanding of the detriments of Violence Against Women and the all-encompassing benefit of the Anti Violence Against Women Act.
Thank you for your support.
