Stop Violence against women!

Hey
I found a great link to help out women. Kinda linked to that other post about the Iranian girl that is being hanged. I can't afford anything right now, but probably when I get my taxes I am gonna donate like, $10! Anything helps right?!

Violence is arguably the most egregious form of inequality visited upon women and girls across the globe.
One out of every three women has been beaten, raped, or abused in her lifetime.
Here in the United States, women in the armed forces are subject to rape and sexual assault, often with superior officers looking the other way.
The UN Secretary-General reports that 80 percent of casualties in recent armed conflicts have been women and children.
This year Amnesty International launched a two-year Stop Violence Against Women Campaign. Amnesty will work in local communities to help women at the grassroots level, pressure governments to pass legal protections, and work with the media to raise awareness about the issue. But Amnesty needs your help to make this campaign happen: http://www.care2.com/go/z/19812

As women and men with the ability to take action, we have a special opportunity - and perhaps a responsibility - to be leaders in enacting a new era in women's human rights. Please consider donating today to stop violence against women once and for all. http://www.care2.com/go/z/19812
