Dear Breakthrough,

I will knock and knock all the doors of the violence
I'm proud of you..
Ring the Bell
Breakthrough is an international human rights organization that uses media, education and pop culture to promote values of dignity, equality and justice. In 2008, we launched our multimedia awareness and intervention campaign Bell Bajao, in English "Ring the Bell," that urges men to take a stand against domestic violence. Our message is simple: Don't pretend that it's not happening. Ring your neighbor's door bell and stop the abuse.
The campaign is present all around India. It is featured on both public and private television channels, radio channels, billboards, magazines and the Internet. Our videos, posters and even our bumper stickers all have a very contemporary and pop-culture feel. We believe that in order to bring attention to the issue of domestic violence, we first had to bring attention to ourselves and our cause.
As you can see in the first video Knock, Knock. Who's There?, we're trying to teach our children--the future generation of our leaders--about domestic violence and the creative ways of ending it. Going forward, we are hoping that all new leaders will carry with them the pledge to Ring the Bell and the mission to prevent violence against women.

These Public Service Announcements really had an effect on me. How often do we ignore potentially dangerous situations because we think they're "none of our business." I especially appreciate that you featured young boys standing up to older men. It is very important to empower young men to speak out against their peers doing violence against women. This will truly make for a safer future for women and girls.
