Team UN Women NC
Story
We've created this team because we want to raise money and make a difference to the lives of women and girls worldwide by participating in Swisse Color Run Canberra 2016.
Did you know that 1 in 3 women around the world will experience violence in their lifetime? In the Pacific, this number is as high as 2 in 3 women. We believe that this is unacceptable. We are running to support UN Women programs in the Pacific delivering services and changing attitudes.
Across PNG and the Pacific, UN Women delivers essential services to survivors of violence, and implements best-practice violence prevention programs – keeping women and children safe from harm. This includes:
- Shelters
- Counselling
- Vocational training/education/support with career pathways to achieve financial independence and escape domestic violence (DV)
- Prevention and education programs to change attitudes and promote healthy, respectful relationships
- Activating influential leaders, from village chiefs to faith community leaders, to model zero tolerance to violence
What’s more, UN Women activates systems change, such as introducing Family Violence Laws criminalising domestic violence; supporting police and judicial officials to understand and support survivors of gender-based violence.
UN Women integrates a bottom-up and top-down approach to maximise transformative change to make communities safer, create long-lasting community-owned solutions and changes to attitudes and behaviours, for good.
