How Kids Can Help "Step it Up!" |

Kids can help "Step it Up!" too. Here are some ideas for children who want to do something:
- Phoebe's bracelets: 12-year-old Phoebe has found a way to make her statement and support her local food bank at the same time. She weaves bracelets and sells them to folks. Then she donates 50 per cent of her earnings to the local food bank. Her bracelets are purple and white. The white represents poverty and the purple represents women and Phoebe's desire to stop both poverty and violence against women. See photos of the bracelets on our Action Photo Gallery.
- Art projects: Children can draw pictures, take photographs or create artwork alone or in a group to send to their MPP or to contribute to a local graphics display or education day. To ensure privacy, pictures should have only the first name and age of the child and have the permission of their mothers to display.
- Poems, stories and letters: Children can write their thoughts about violence against women and its impacts on children and send them to their local MPP, along with a letter from their mother.
