Summary

This letter, dated October 8, 2009, from the Secretary-General of the United Nations, invites Dr. Elie Wiesel to join the "Network of Men Leaders" to advocate for an end to violence against women. The letter highlights the global prevalence of violence against women, stating that one in three women experiences abuse in her lifetime, particularly in conflict and emergency situations. It references the multi-year "UNite to End Violence against Women" campaign launched in February 2008, which aims to increase global advocacy on gender-based violence and strengthen partnerships. The Secretary-General emphasizes that men are indispensable partners in eradicating violence, mobilizing public opinion, and empowering women at national, regional, and international levels.
