“Violence against women is one of the most widespread and entrenched human rights violations in the world and The Pixel Project is delighted that so many acclaimed authors have stepped up to join us in raising much-needed funds and widespread support for this cause,” said Regina Yau, Founder and President of The Pixel Project. “Since its debut in 2014, approximately 200 authors have participated in the Read For Pixels campaign, collaborating with us to raise approximately US$103,000 for the cause and ignite online discussions about violence against women by fans and supporters. It is our hope that their support of the cause will inspire fans of their wonderful books and book lovers worldwide to not only donate generously, but also begin taking action to stop the violence in their communities wherever they are in the world.”
