‘Global sisterhood’ tells perpetrators ‘time is up’ for pandemic of violence

United Nations, Dec 12 (UNI) From #MeToo to #HearMeToo, the fight to end violence against women continues as UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, Nicole Kidman, joined survivors, activists and other Hollywood celebrities to spotlight the lack of resources that exist to help women push back against violence and abuse.
On Monday, Human Rights Day, the UN Women-managed global grant-making mechanism to eradicate all forms of violence against women and girls, the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women, held a fundraising luncheon in Santa Monica, California, one of the hubs of the #MeToo movement that rose up last year against sexual harassment and abuse, by powerful men in the entertainment industry.
Hosted by Ms Kidman and UN Women’s Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, the event amplified the voices of women and girls around the world who have survived violence or who strive to defend women’s rights, often without garnering media headlines.
