Peace Day/ 7 Month Countdown

Dear Enke,

On behalf of Peace One Day and the Eliminate Domestic Violence Global Foundation, thank you for being part of the ‘Reducing Domestic Violence’ Coalition in support of Peace Day – 21 September.

Because of all our efforts, according to analysis conducted with the support of McKinsey & Company, an estimated 280 million people were aware of Peace Day 2012, with approximately 5.6 million behaving more peacefully as a result. We want to double the number of those aware in 2013. By getting involved, by spreading the word, by taking action on Peace Day, your participation will have a domino effect that will resonate around the world.The theme for Peace Day 2013 is ‘Who Will You Make Peace With?’ Watch this short film to find out more: https://bit.ly/12BIqp2Peace Day is as much about the violence in our homes, schools and communities as it is about civil and international wars.  The greatest violence humanity faces is domestic violence. At least 1 in 3 women are victims of domestic violence in their lifetimes (source UN Women). Raising awareness and engaging in concerted action on domestic violence saves lives; events that inform people about the facts and the consequences of domestic abuse can make a difference. By uniting on 21 September and generating a vast amount of activity on these issues, we will be making a significant contribution towards the creation of a more peaceful and sustainable world. Peace Day is everyone’s legacy.Help us by doing two simple things:

Warm regards
