The Pixel Project, an innovative global Web 2.0-driven awareness-and-fund raising Violence Against Women (VAW) campaign, is pleased to announce “The Pixel Project Weekend Webinar 2010 Series”, a number of live online public education seminars on gender-based violence that will be broadcast live from February 2010 onwards.

The first webinar will be by White Ribbon, the largest campaign in the world of men working to end VAW and will take place at 6pm EST on Friday 5 February 2010. Aside from White Ribbon, upcoming webinar speakers include representatives from UNIFEM, Cairo-based El Karama, the award-winning India-based Bell Bajao campaign, Malaysia’s Women’s Aid Organisation and the USA’s National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

These free, interactive video events will be hosted by (http://www.UStream.tv) as well as being streamed via the Community Buzz section of The Pixel Project’s website (http://www.thepixelproject.net). They will take place every two to four weeks on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, depending on the location and time zone where the lead speakers are based.

Viewers are encouraged to register via "Say NO" and the Webinar pages of The Pixel Project’s website’s Community Buzz section. To take part in the live Q&A sessions, you can ask via UStream during which the speaker will take questions directly.

In addition, each viewer will be automatically counted as an “action” towards helping UNIFEM’s “Say NO – UNiTE” campaign’s bid to raise 1 million grassroots actions against VAW by November 2010.

The Pixel Project is a volunteer-led VAW organisation whose mission is to take fund-and-awareness raising for the VAW cause into the 21st Century by delivering innovative, powerful viral campaigns across various online and virtual channels including social media. Their first project is to turbo-charge global awareness about VAW using social media while raising US$1 million for Malaysia’s Women’s Aid Organisation and the U.S.A.’s National Coalition Against Domestic Violence by getting a global audience to collectively unveil a million-pixel mystery collage of Celebrity Male Role Models at US$1 per pixel.
