Design a poster and say no to violence against women
12 March 2010
WAGGGS calls all members to participate in the poster competition ‘girls worldwide say no to violence against women and girls’. The competition will end on 12 August, International Youth Day so there is plenty of time to run a special meeting with your groups, encourage your friends and family to join and check out all the other actions you can take to end violence against women and girls on the WAGGGS action page!
How to participate
You just need to create a poster that includes the slogan ‘girls worldwide say no to violence against women and girls,’ as well as the WAGGGS logo and the UNIFEM campaign logo. If you want to, you can also include facts and figures about violence against women and girls around the world. Then think of a good place to display your poster so lots of people can see it and are encouraged to take action to stop violence against women and girls.
Submit a copy/scan/photo of your picture and information of the display location as both are taken into consideration by the judges when deciding the winners
Please read the terms and conditions for more information.
Prizes
The posters of the three winners will be on display at the UNIFEM headquarters in New York and will also be published online on the say no campaign page and the UNIFEM homepage. The winners will also receive a goodie bag with UNIFEM gift items and a certificate.
Wait, there’s more you can do!
The WAGGGS action page gives you a whole range of ideas for how you can take further action to end to violence against women and girls. You can find big and small actions for younger and older members as well as some actions especially suitable for co-educative settings. It is important for mixed groups to contribute to the campaign because an attitude change in boys and men is just as important as empowering girls and women to combat violence against women and girls. All you need to do is go to the website, decide on an action, do that action and then register so that your action counts!

This poster competition is a great idea to sensitize girls and young women and get them involved in their empowerment.
The Youth Council of The Girl Guides Association of Trinidad and Tobago Inc. has started working on it. Our Youth Representative,Carleen Farrell,recently launched a Women's Empowerment campaign. We have informed the Senior Guides, Rangers and Young Leaders of the challenge. We are all enthusiastic about this project and the campaign.
