Do your bit for women's rights this International Women's Day

Each year, around 1 in 10 women in Britain experience rape or other violence. One in four local authorities leave female victims of violence without the specialised support they need.

At 1:10 on Friday 6th, we want this message to resound around every online network, linking to an action for International Women's Day.

Do your bit

Spread this message via online communities such as Facebook, Myspace and Twitter on Friday 6th March. Get others to pass it on, raising awareness and inspiring action on this issue for International Women’s Day.

If you’re on Facebook or Myspace:

1) Change your profile pic to our specially created avatar (we've gone all out!) to illustrate the point.  Download our Myspace avatar or our Facebook avatar

2) Then this Friday, update your profile status to: Each year, 1 in 10 women in Britain experience rape or other violence http://www.oneten.org.uk 

If you're on Twitter, change your avatar now

Then on Friday 6th March (at 1:10 pm if possible) tweet the message above; by asking loads of you to do this we are hoping to make the issue unavoidable in the lead up to International Women's Day. Who knows, we may even set a new record for the most tweeted message at any one time!

Your mates will click on the link and take action for women in Britain.  Then they will change their statuses, their mates will click through and take action, and before you know it there will enough services for women across Britain.
