A Poem for the RISE UP campaign.
The RISE UP campaign by the Mothers’ Union aims to keep awareness of domestic abuse in the public eye 365 days a year. It is particularly relevant now as we prepare for the 16 Days of Activism campaign during November and December.
In 2023 the campaign will start on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. It will run until 10 December, Human Rights Day.
The campaign against gender based violence was started by members of the Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991 and is supported by the United Nations (UN) and by the Mothers’ Union.
Respond don’t ignore abuse, you can’t let it pass,
Inform someone who can help them at last,
Support those who suffer often in silence,
Empower them to leave and find a safe house,
Unite those who’ve suffered with aid to be safe,
Pray for them always for help by God’s Grace.
