No excuses. No exceptions. 

Dear John

Sexual violence is never acceptable. No excuses. No exceptions.

But across the world, inadequate laws and biased attitudes help society to explain away sexual violence, to justify it, to blame the victim, and to sweep it under the rug.

We need a new conversation. Let’s work together to change hearts, minds, and attitudes that shape the cultural understanding around these crimes. And let’s use that new understanding to change laws and practices to show that sexual violence is unacceptable. No excuses. No exceptions.

As Giving Tuesday approaches, did you know that only 1.6% of all charitable giving in the US supports women and girls’ organizations?

This is far too little support to make the change that is needed. We need your help and partnership to create a just world for women and girls. ([link removed])

The change starts with you. Your support today makes our work possible. Because when you change the law, you can change everything.

In solidarity
