Sign the Petition to stop violence against women and girls!   By adding your voice to the campaign to help support the International Violence Against Women Act (IVAW) to that of FAIR Fund, Women’s Edge, Amnesty International, the International Rescue Committee and many more organizations, you are telling your representatives, family, and friends that you want to see an end to sexual violence and that you want Congress to make it a top legislative and funding priority.  Rape, forced prostitution, and sexual slavery are all tools of war that have tremendous consequences on the lives of women and girls and amplify the trauma in conflict zones around the world.   Join us to help prevent sexual violence, support women and girl’s recovery and health, and promote anti-sexual violence initiatives world-wide.  

April 2, 2007: FAIR Fund, through the Dru Campaign, is proud to announce the first two student funding awards to address gender-based violence in college campuses.  Aiboia Fasehun (Junior, Carnegie Mellon University) will launch a male leadership training series to educate and support university men’s efforts to end sexual assault.  In Boston, Brittan Smith (Senior, Harvard College) and Merichelle Villapando (Freshman, Boston University) will bring the “drink detective” strips to their college campuses to help college students test drinks they suspect could be laced with “date rape drugs” both on and off campus.   Together with student consultants of the Harvard Law School Negotiation Clinical Program and SAFER , FAIR Fund is working to empower college students to better understand and promote enhanced campus sexual assault reporting policies.   A student toolkit will be released in summer 2007.  Contact Makiko to learn more!
