Donate today to lift women and girls out of poverty – and – to support them to live lives free from violence.

This Valentine’s Day, the Australian National Committee for UN Women is inviting you to do things differently: make a donation in celebration of your loved ones, in lieu of giving a gift.

Did you know that it is estimated that Australians will spend $790 million on Valentine’s Day gifts?

That is four times the global budget of UN Women.

We are not asking you not to celebrate your loved ones. We are asking you to consider giving a gift that changes a life, whilst honouring those you love.

The greatest gift you can give is empowerment. Donate today.

• For the price of a card ($6.95), you can enable a woman who has experienced violence to access counselling.
• For the price of a bunch of flowers ($80), you can support women in the Pacific to access financial literacy training.
• For the price of a romantic dinner ($300) you can support women to get to work safely in Port Moresby.
• For the price of a weekend away ($1000) you can ensure women farmers are able to own and manage their farms, enabling them to earn an income and keep their children in school.

By making a donation to support UN Women's work today, you can help change the lives of women and girls all over the world.

Donate now* to empower women and girls.

*Consider monthly giving! Show your loved ones you honour them throughout the year. Become a regular donor.
