GivingTuesday is a beautiful reminder that kindness and generosity can come in countless forms. Whether it’s donating money, sharing your time, offering your skills, or simply showing compassion, every contribution makes a difference.
It’s not about how much you give but the spirit behind it—uniting people globally to uplift one another and create a ripple effect of good.

Today, November 25th marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, an essential observance to highlight the urgency of addressing violence against women and girls globally. It serves as a rallying point to advocate for the rights of women to live free from violence and to promote actions that foster safer, more equitable societies.
Global Prevalence: Violence against women is one of the most widespread, persistent, and devastating human rights violations. It affects one in three women globally, with manifestations ranging from domestic violence and sexual assault to trafficking and harmful traditional practices.
Breaking the Silence: Many incidents of violence go unreported due to stigma, fear, or lack of accessible support. Raising awareness is critical to empowering survivors and creating systems of accountability for perpetrators.
Call to Action: Governments, organizations, and individuals are urged to commit to policies, education, and support services that protect women's rights and dignity.
By observing this day, we collectively affirm that violence against women is not inevitable—it is preventable. Together, we can build a safer and more just world for all.
SARA for Women is a great step in making a difference in the lives of women and children.
