<p>Dear friends and colleagues,</p>
<p><strong>World Poverty Day</strong> on 17 October is coming closer, and I would like to invite you to join UNIFEM on that day in raising public awareness on the issue of women and poverty.</p>
<p>UNIFEM has joined forces with the Women's Funding Network (<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.wfnet.org/" target="_blank">www.wfnet.org</a>), an umbrella for some 120 women's funds worldwide, to call for greater investment in women to overcome global poverty. At the centre of our joint activities is participation in the United Nations' Millennium Campaign "Stand Up against Poverty and for the Millennium Development Goals" (more info:
<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.standagainstpoverty.org/" target="_blank">www.standagainstpoverty.org</a>). To channel our call to overcome women's poverty into the campaign, we have developed a small website through which we will encourage people to stand up online and get informed on the issue of women and poverty. The site has just been launched in English, French and Spanish at:
<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.womenfightpoverty.org/" target="_blank">www.womenfightpoverty.org</a></p>
<p>In addition to the website, we are developing an e-card (an electronic postcard) that will ask people to join the online stand up and provide a direct link to the sign-up form. The e-card will be ready for distribution just before Poverty Day and we will let you know as soon as the card is available.
</p>
<p>I very much hope that you will reach out to your networks to mobilize as many people as possible and help raise awareness on the fact that women are not only deeply affected by poverty, but also hold enormous potential to help overcome it.
</p>
<p>We hope that on World Poverty Day we can show the world that there is an extensive and very active movement in support of eradicating women's poverty.</p>
<p>With best regards, </p>
<p>Joanne Sandler<br>Executive Director a.i.<br>UNIFEM</p>
