Have you heard about the United Nation Women’s “ORANGE THE WORLD” campaign yet? Indrani has joined forces with them for their 16 days of activism to end violence against women and children.
Indrani is publishing a personal video message every day during the UN Women’s campaign, and TODAY, she is sharing an important message about treating ALL of your emotions with respect. When you can do that, you can begin to end violence within yourself and other people. It’s an action that starts with “Self.”
Indrani encourages you to Google, “The Guest House” by Rumi. But before you do, take a look at Indrani’s “Day 4” personal message. Watch it here:

Indrani has stepped up her activism, yet again, and is joining forces with UN Women to help promote their “Orange the World” campaign.
Here is the campaign message from the United Nations “UNiTE”:
“The UN Secretary-General’s UNiTE to End Violence against Women Campaign invites
governments, UN agencies, civil society organizations and individuals
from all countries of the world to mark the days between 25 November and 10 December
(the 16 Days of Activism) by coming together to step up efforts to end violence against women and girls.
We invite you to “ORANGE THE WORLD: END VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS” BY participating in and organizing “orange events” in support of the UNiTE Campaign.
THIS YEAR WE WANT TO KEEP THE WORLD ORANGE THROUGHOUT THE 16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM and we invite you to consider organizing your activities not only on 25th November but on the other days too.
Join us, take action, orange the world, keep it orange for days, and call for political commitments to be matched with meaningful ACTION and adequate RESOURCES to end
violence against women and girls worldwide.”
~ UN Women
Indrani will be posting a personal video message almost every day of this 16-Day campaign, calling for action to end violence against women and girls. Here is Indrani’s first campaign video and “Call to Action” for YOU!

Ask yourself these two questions:
When do I turn these strengths inward to use them to help me?
