Violence affects us all
Week Without Violence: October 16 - 22, 2011
Imagine a week without violence. Now imagine a lifetime!
The YWCA Week Without Violence is an annual worldwide campaign to stop violence in all its forms. Throughout the week, activities focus on raising awareness, promoting attitude change and enabling individuals and organizations to begin positive actions towards ending violence in their communities. Get involved!
Violence in all its forms undermines our quality of life. No matter where we live, violence and fear have become part of our everyday lives. To change this we need to take action against violence: to speak out against and to change and influence the values and attitudes that affect violence. We can begin by inagining a life without violence. We can work to make it a reality.
Everyone is invited to join us in stopping violence.
Call the the YWCA Lethbridge and District for more information.
