Ethiopia’s Rape Victims

$560 raised of $2,000 target

.

My name is Betty Solomon please join me as I say “STOP” and take a stand against sexual violence our young girls having to suffer from in Ethiopia. 

It is too often we hear of these testimonies from our girls being sexually assaulted in Ethiopia by their fathers. This is an emergency and must be handled with such urgency, we admit this is a public health problem. No more turning a blind eye to this devastation. This impacts women’s lives to the core. This is horrible, it’s wrong and it must stop now. 

I need your help to fight this. We can no longer sit back and allow this to happen again and again.. I am asking for your financial contribution as you see fit (please see donation section for details). These girls are our future and we need to protect their well-being. All funds raised will go towards any assistance needed to help toward rehabilitating the lives of our young girls of Ethiopia.
