>> Laws, Policies and Action Plans that Address Violence against Women
>>

>> country-level efforts to end violence against women and girls on 6
>> March 2009. The complete Call for Proposals detailing criteria,
>> eligibility requirements and complete guidelines on how to apply is
>> available at http://www.unifem.org/untfevaw/. The deadline for
>> application is 17 April 2009.
>>
>> The Call for Proposals continues the UN Trust Fund's focus on
>> supporting the implementation of national and local laws, policies and
>> action plans that address violence against women and girls.
>> Civil society organizations, governments, and UN Country Teams in
>> partnership with governments and civil society are invited to submit
>> applications for a minimum of US$100,000 to a maximum of US$1 million
>> for a duration of up to three years.
>>
>> Last year, the UN Trust Fund received a total of 1,068 proposals and
>> US$22 million were awarded to 28 initiatives in 38 countries and
>> territories.
>>
>> Established in 1996 by the UN General Assembly and managed by UNIFEM
>> on behalf of the UN system, the UN Trust Fund is an essential source
>> of support for innovative programmes to end violence against women and
>> girls.
>>
>> The UN Trust Fund has been investing in growth of its global knowledge
>> base on effective approaches of "how to" end violence against women
>> and girls. In this way it is uniquely placed to function as a global
>> observatory of emerging good practices, contributing to programming
>> excellence, maximization of results and efficient use of resources.

>> Inés Alberdi, UNIFEM Executive Director, said: "The UN Trust Fund has
>> been working since 2005 on turning existing national laws, policies
>> and action plans to end violence against women into reality for
>> women's and girls' lives. It is responding to help countries fulfill
>> their commitments. By doing so, it is also contributing to achieving
>> the main objectives of the Secretary-General's UNiTE to End Violence
>> against Women campaign - such as the enforcement of national laws, the
>> implementation of multisectoral action plans, support to data
>> collection systems, social mobilization and prevention strategies, and
>> addressing sexual violence in conflict situations."
>>
>> As one of its benchmarks, the UN Secretary-General's campaign has set
>> an annual target of the UN Trust Fund to a minimum of US$100 million
>> by 2015, in order to make existing commitments to ending violence
>> against women a reality.
>>
>> The UN Trust Fund relies on the generous support from governments, the
>> private sector, non-profit organizations and individuals. In 2008,
>> donors included the governments of Australia, Austria, Brazil,
>> Finland, Ireland, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, Norway, the Republic
>> of Korea, Slovenia, Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United States
>> of America; Avon Products Inc. through its Avon Empowerment Fund;
>> Johnson and Johnson and Tag Hauer; as well as the UN Foundation, Zonta
>> International, Berlin-based Cinema for Peace and National Committees
>> for UNIFEM. UNIFEM Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman has mobilized
>> support, including as spokesperson for UNIFEM's Say NO to Violence
>> against Women campaign.
