Oscar winner NICOLE KIDMAN is trying to raise awareness of violence
against women. The actress, who is the goodwill ambassador for the
United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) - helped launch the
Say No to Violence against Women campaign. She says, "One in three women will encounter violence
in some way, shape or form against them in their lifetime. So much of
it is shrouded in silence. What we are trying to do is say this is
something that needs to be addressed. A lot of it is taking away the
stigma, creating awareness and not making it a silent pandemic. I want
to encourage people of all nations to unite behind our call to end
violence against women."
