WWSF invites you to use and download the 2011 campaign poster, banners and logo and grants you the right to add your own logo on the poster provided that you do not remove the WWSF logos. WWSF no longer sends printed posters and materials in the mail. http://www.woman.ch/index.php?page=2011poster-call&hl=en_US

WWSF will continue awarding its annual Prize for innovative prevention activities and invites you to send your reports with photos and campaign reports by 15 February in order to be included in the selection process. All 30 laureate organizations awarded so far are published on the Internet.

We hope that you will be a strong partner in this new annual campaign of 19 Days of Activism 1-19 November. Together we can achieve what no one can do alone. Do send us the questionnaire included in the Prevention Kit.
