NEW YORK, March 28 /PRNewswire/ -- iVillage, the largest online destination for women with 16 million members, announced today the launch of iVillage Cares, a national advocacy program designed to build awareness and support for causes of concern to women. iVillage Cares already involves some of the nation's most prominent women in healthcare, education and women's advocacy.
The launch takes place in conjunction with the release of results from a new national poll examining Women and Online Advocacy, conducted for iVillage by GfK Roper Public Affairs & Media, which found that the use of the Internet is playing an increasingly significant role in the daily lives of women and their involvement in charitable causes. Among other results, the poll found that 79% of online women agree that the ease of using the Internet has made people more likely to get involved and support the social causes and charities they care about; 73% have searched the Internet for activities or organizations with which they could get involved*, and 70% of all women agree the Internet makes it more likely they will learn more about local charities.
Starting today, women around the country will have their voices heard at iVillage.com/iVillageCares. Celebrities including Trudie Styler, Mariska Hargitay, Marlo Thomas, Arianna Huffington, Liz Lange and Angie Harmon among others will help kick-off the launch by posting a personal blog entry on iVillage Cares to highlight an organization or cause that they support and what inspired them to give back. For example, Laurie David, activist and producer of the Oscar-winning film "An Inconvenient Truth", has expressed her commitment to the environment by addressing the dangers of global warming and offering a link to her non-partisan organization www.StopGlobalWarming.org. An online forum will highlight issues ranging from childhood obesity to breast cancer research to homelessness and powerful statistics to accompany each. iVillage Cares will bring these issues to the forefront and give women an opportunity to connect with other women through common causes, become informed and take action. An iCommit section invites women to take the first step by posting to the community about the causes closest to them, pledging their efforts and sharing ideas and suggestions on how others get involved.
