CALL FOR HELP TO END VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

Dear friends,
As someone in the public eye, i have been able to use my fame to draw attention to the issues that are most important. Having seen the tremendous amount of widows and orphans caused by violence against women and having lost so many people i love to this gender inequality, no issue is closer to my heart.
When I help to found royal youth leadership organization in 2004, people were ignored and discriminated needlessly; the in human act was view at that time, as tradition. Right now, over 20 thousand children are made orphans, and women widows.
The message i want to share with you today is straightforward and critically important:
Violence against women has gone on for too long because we are not doing all that we can do to stop it.
By we, I mean our government, yes but I also mean you and me, and every person in this world. Working together, we can do something about this ruthless killer, that why I am writing to you today.
You can help speed the end of this violence against women by making a special commitment with Rylo Equality Partnership, an initiative to empower women.
As you decide how to help, think of men, women and children who are forcefully thrown to the grass because of there gender.
This is a battle of my life and i hope and pray you will stand with me to fight it.

Hi what kind of help do you need. If you need financial support, please check www.mamacash.org they fund women's initiative programs and organizations. I can give you a list if that's what you need.

Here's what you can do: go to www.awid.org sign up as a member and discover all the resources they have on VAW. You may even volunteer for the group. They are widening their horizons and accepting/encouraging young men or adult men to participate in the call to end VAW. You will not only see who funds what but also what are the activities you can engage into. Please let me know if you have successfully become a member. Post a message on my TIG. Alright? thanks
