Always wondered how you could get involved with ending Violence Against Women (VAW) wherever you are but hampered by the:
- Lack of time?
- Lack of opportunity?
- Lack of resources?
Well, here are just some of the things you can do, wherever you are in the world. Some of the initiatives below just take 5 seconds, some take just 10 minutes, some are daily, some are for those who really want to get heavily involved.
In other words, we at The Pixel Project have something to suit everybody and we want to show that getting involved in ending VAW can be as easy as the push of the button!
It’s truly time to end Violence Against Women. Together.
