LANCASTER, Calif., Jan. 18, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- As news of human and civil rights violations against women in the world reaches an increasing number of people, a company called Action Packs introduces activism kits. People who would not consider themselves "activists" can now easily help make a difference, even making advocating women's rights a new hobby.
Activism kits provide busy people with a summation of workable facts and suggestions, so that they too can promote women's issues without having to sift through an endless amount of information. Armed with this information people can now feel comfortable sitting down at their computer and writing a letter to the editor of a newspaper or to one of their senators. Each kit provides users with a summary of the issue, a list of key organizations' websites, how to contact lawmakers, contact information, ideas for awareness raising and fundraising, and more.
Tracy Smyth, a user of the activism kits says: "Inexcusable crimes against women are taking place in this world and most of us leave it up to a handful of activists to do something about it. With these simple and straightforward kits, anyone with access to the Internet can get involved."
Action Packs currently provides kits teaching people how to help end violence against women in the United States and Female Genital Mutilation. Kits in production include ending human trafficking and violence against women in the world. The kits are $15.00 including tax and shipping.
