Save Darfur Coalition
Save Darfur Coalition
The 16 Days Initiative is part of the Save Darfur Coalition’s ongoing advocacy efforts to combat the epidemic of sexual violence in Darfur and provide comprehensive services to survivors. We are honored to raise our voices with the thousands of other NGO, Civil Society Groups and individuals participating in the 16 Days to say that the voices of these women will not be silenced, that we will not turn away, and we refuse to stop fighting for increased security. As an activist at the Pledge 2 Protect Conference stated, “Unless you are living in Darfur, there is no such thing as Darfur fatigue.” As Reverend Gloria-White Hammond, one of our 16 Leaders, has said “Now is not the time to be silent.” This challenge is too large to be met with complacency – it requires the sustained, creative and compassionate action of every single person, male and female, who believes that this violence is wrong, that it is unconscionable, and that it has been going on for six years too long.
