Please make an effort to at least understand that your action or inaction depend unequivocally on the future of Africa as clarified by this simple initiative. The future of the world is interdependent on Africa. I know we care. Please examine this as objectively as you can and take the right action. Do not hesitate to ask any questions.

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 form. 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.
