According to YGAP, a polished man is someone who uses their power and influence to stand up for women’s and children’s rights by advocating against violence. By taking action, they help create positive change in the world.
“YGAP’s Polished Man campaign encourages everyone to take a stand and actively commit to helping end violence against women and children by painting one nail for the month of October. The funds we raise support trauma prevention and recovery programs in Australia and around the world that aim to stop violence before it can occur, as well as help survivors on their road to recovery. Sign up today, paint a nail, start a conversation and raise funds to help end violence against women and children.”
As the Polished Man campaign reaches its eighth year in December 2022, YGAP is proud to announce that more than $7.6 million has been raised since its inception! With continued support from campaigners and sponsors around the world, this movement continues to push forward with strength and success.
Their website read, “We have had over 100,000 people from more than 100 countries get behind this movement, funding both trauma prevention and trauma recovery services in Australia and around the world.”
The 2021 campaign report from YGAP revealed that their organization is “so proud to stand as a beneficiary partner of Polished Man in the effort to end violence against children. Our contribution is the prevention of violence through working to ensure economic security and stability for people around the world. YGAP supports small impact businesses here in Australia and overseas that are reducing economic and social inequality around the world.”
