HALF THE SKY MOVEMENT
In honour of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Children, we provided free dinner and a movie for students interested in putting an end to inequality. Together, we watched "Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide." |

NATIONAL CHILDREN'S DAY
To commemorate the UN's adoption of two documents centered on children's rights, National Children's Day (November 20) signifies a very special date for us, especially as a child focused humanitarian organization. In honour of this occasion, we celebrated throughout SFU Burnaby with our annual Balloon Campaign. We decorated the halls with hundreds of helium balloons, each marked with a unique fact about children's rights. |

LET CHILDREN BE CHILDREN Did you know that half of all women in Canada have experienced at least one incident of physical or sexual abuse since the age of 16? Leading up to the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Children, we prepared some visual facts and statistics around campus to raise awareness about the struggles that women and children face worldwide. We advocate for all people around the globe to #LetChildrenBeChildren. |
PROF IN A BOX 2014
Starting off the term strong with our annual Prof-in-a-Box Event, we raised over $1500 in support of child education and development. For Halloween, students at SFU were given the opportunity to watch their professors don the infamous UNICEF box while teaching a full lecture. Only classes who were able to reach their specified targets were able to enjoy this invaluable experience. So, if you want to see your prof wear a GIANT BOX while teaching your class, make sure to take part next year!
