We are excited to launch #SafeToday, our 2019 campaign for IDEVAW, the United Nation's designated International Day for Eliminating Violence Against Women, 25th November.

Our national campaign is cross-communal, across the whole Jewish community, asking people to help us in our crucial work against Violence Against Women & Girls.

FOR RABBIS:

We are asking every Rabbi in the U.K. to:

-          Speak out against violence against women in the Jewish community, in a sermon on Shabbat 23rd November;

-          To write about it for those who may not be in shul, perhaps in a blog or newsletter, and put a message of support on your website/social media;

-          To record a brief video message of support (30-45 seconds);

-          To put up the campaign poster (sent to every shul) in your shul foyer;

-          To encourage your community to donate to help provide JWA’s vital services, at jwa.org.uk/idevaw2019.
