The AHA Foundation Launches HONOUR
Posted on Thu, Dec 01, 2011 @ 12:35 PM
The AHA Foundation is recognizing this year's 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence, starting with the International Day Against Violence Against Women, and continuing through December 10th, International Human Rights Day. The choice of these two dates to bookend the 16 Days of Activism is meant to emphasize that violence against women is a violation of human rights.
We would like to take this opportunity of highlighting women's rights around the world to launch an exciting initiative: the HONOUR Fund of the AHA Foundation.
WHY HONOUR?
Around the world, people have created strict constructions of what defines a woman's honor. These definitions often suggest that by making her own decisions, educating herself and creating her own destiny, a woman or girl has dishonored herself and her family. We want to ensure that women are the ones who define their OWN honor.
WHAT IS HONOUR?
The HONOUR Fund of the AHA Foundation will raise money and awareness for The AHA Foundation as well as other key non-profits who defend and protect women's rights, promote women's education, and are defining honor for women around the world.
When you make a donation to the HONOUR Fund, we will send you products that carry the HONOUR Fund logo which indicates that all profits from your merchandise go towards organizations around the world that support women's rights.
HONOUR TOTE BAGS
With your $115 donation to the HONOUR Fund of the AHA Foundation, we will send you a li mited-edition, Vineyard Vines HONOUR tote bag in the color of your choice (pink or navy).
HONOUR TIE
With your $95 donation to the HONOUR Fund of the AHA Foundation, we will send you an elegant, limited-edition, Vineyard Vines tie that gives men a chance to show that they honor the women in their lives! The tie comes in your color of choice (pink or navy).
