United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) ended last 6 November 2009 its global advocacy initiative "Say NO – UNITE to End Violence against Women", which stimulates and showcases actions on ending violence against women.
UNIFEM demonstrates the groundswell of support and actions and spotlights global efforts on this issue, especially the reports estimate that up to 70 percent of women are subjected to physical or sexual violence by men in their lifetime.
The initial target of (UNIFEM) is to reach 100,000 actions by March 2010 and 1 million actions in one year through reaching out to students at schools, volunteering at local shelters, advocating for legislation or donating funds towards programmes that protect women and girls from violence.
