1. Who links to the HotPeachPages?
2. Thanks! from agenices that use the HPP
3. Who's behind the HotPeachPages?

Abuse information and support for every woman and every girl on Earth. That’s the aim of the HotPeachPages website. At this point, we offer links to:

• abuse information in over 110 languages; and
• information on abuse help agencies for every country in the world.

We are looking for celebrity spokeswomen, especially those who speak more than one language like:

• Kristin Scott Thomas
• Cote de Pablo
• Morena Baccarin
• Sasha Alexander
• Meta Golding
• Jodie Foster
• Daniella Kertesz
• Ming-Na Wen
• Chloe Bennet

and funders such as:

• Bill and Melinda Gates, who would very likely support the HotPeachPages, if only they knew about it.
• Oprah, too, perhaps.
• Warren Buffett?
• Ellen?

If you can introduce us to a funder or a celebrity spokeswoman, .

We do not provide direct service. If you are in need of assistance, search our site for the agencies closest to you, and contact them for information and support.

The HotPeachPages is checked as often as possible for broken links.

• The HotPeachPages started out as a resource page for phonebooks
  in Saskatchewan, Canada, in 1999.
  
  
• The page for the phone book had a column of information on abuse and a column of phone numbers for local abuse help agencies
  ( see the 2000-2001 version).
  
  
• Because the phone numbers were hotlines (crisis lines & emergency numbers) and because all the other pages in the phone book had colours for names—white pages, yellow pages, blue pages—we decided to call our phonebook abuse info page the HotPeachPages.
  
  
• To find out how the HotPeachPages website emerged from the phonebook abuse info page:
  
  
• here's an article on the conception, birth and development of the HotPeachPages web site; and
• voici un article sur la conception, la naissance et le développement de le site HotPeachPages.


• 'HotPeachPages' has no spaces in it so translation software can't translate it, so it's HotPeachPages all over the world. For example, if there were spaces, 'Hot Peach Pages' would be:
  
  
  • Heiße Pfirsich Seiten in German,
  • Pages de pêches chaudes in French,
  • 热桃页 in Chinese, and
  • in Urdu, گرم آڑو صفحات.
  
  Better to give a worldwide tool the same name, worldwide.

1. link to the HotPeachPages;
   
   
2. encourage your umbrella (peak) organization to:
   
   
• get a website and make sure it's listed on the HotPeachPages;
• list all its members on its website (including contact info), with a link to every member that has its own website; and
• link to the HotPeachPages;


3. send the HotPeachPages any abuse material in languages other than English that you come across, whether you find it on the internet, or in electronic or print form (street address available on request);
   
   
4. if you don't have abuse material in the language of a woman you are serving, check to see if the HotPeachPages has abuse information in her language, and print it out for her if she'd like.

Adding to our world-wide HotPeachPages is easy—just email the HotPeachPages with information about and/or links to help agencies in your:

• province,
• state,
• country, or
• region,

or with a link to abuse information in a language other than English, and we'll add the information to our site.

PLEASE NOTE:

1. In most cases, we cannot provide links to individual agencies—there are simply too many single agency links in the world to manage. Instead, we provide links to lists of agencies, usually lists published on the internet by umbrella organizations like Gender-Based Violence Prevention Network in Africa. Before you submit your suggestion, do check to see if an agency you want to suggest is already listed on one of the lists we link to.


2. If you want the HotPeachPages to link to your site, your site must link to the HotPeachPages.

Please add a link from your site to the HotPeachPages. For every agency that links to the HotPeachPages, so many more women will find the information they need to break free from abuse. See Who Links to the HPP.

You can link using:

• just HotPeachPages (as UN Women does), or
  
  
• HotPeachPages Global list of woman abuse agencies, with abuse information in over 110 languages, or
  
  
• use the HotPeachPages's logo. There are seven logo-links to choose from by size: 125x61, 170x99, 226x131, 254x147, 282x164, 338x196, and 560x323. See examples below.

PLEASE NOTE: If you use an image, you must download it to your site rather than use the image location on our site, because our .htaccess file will not allow the latter.

"Your resource is PRICELESS! I work at a Maternity Center as a Social Worker and I met a woman from Morocco who was being abused by her American husband. Her husband has been using her immigration status and language barrier to control and mistreat her. I looked on websites of our local agencies but I could find NO INFORMATION in Arabic (?!). Then I googled "Arabic DV info" and your site came up. The information I was able to print and share with her was sooo valuable. She is able to read this information and understand that what is going on is wrong. I was also able to give her a copy of a safety planning guide that I could go over with her, as I had the English copy for myself from your site as well. How wonderful that you exist!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I will be contacting local DV agencies to suggest they link to your website for language resources." near Philadelphia, USA, May 2014
