"Cause I Can" Judith Cantor's fundraising projects

Powerful silence

The act of not talking can mean different things to different people depending on the context. For women who have been on the receiving end of verbal, physical or sexual abuse, it can be both a blessing and a curse. For some it's their protection. For others, in a way, it's their perpetrator. For many it's both.

To honour women who, for whatever reason, feel they do not have a voice, I will be entering into a Day of Silence on Saturday 16 January. From the wee hours until the end of the day I will be abstaining from talking, reading, writing, watching the small screen, the big screen, the silver screen, any eye contact... I will, in short, be spending the day meditating on the far-reaching issue of violence against women and all that needs to be done to overcome it.

The White Ribbon Foundationare doing an admirable job of educating the public but limited funding can only reach so far. 

Please support my Day of Silence by making a donation to the Foundation via my fundraising page: www.everydayhero.com.au/judith_cantor_3 so that they can spread the word even further afield. All donations will be gratefully accepted and any over $2 are tax deductible.

Please also take a moment to think of anyone else who may be interested in Day of Silence and let them know where to reach me or read more?

Awareness is crucial to creating change and we can all make a difference.

Thank you. Very much.
