Why is €2 the minimum donation amount?
Unfortunately there’s some costs involved in any charity projects. In this case it’s namely bank charges and transaction costs. A minimum donation of €2 makes sure that such expenses are covered and that the money you donate will still help the Red Cross in its work. Give all you can!

Why should i donate?
We have done our very best to help this is very important cause.
In conflict areas, sexual violence is used as a weapon, to humiliate the enemy, with catastrophic impact on the victim’s physical and mental health.
Often excluded from their community, surrounded by shame, victims also suffer social and economic consequences.
The Red Cross provides shelter, medical care and psychological counselling, but is also committed to giving these women hope for a future, through fundings and training.
The Red Cross provides information to the public, the police and armed forces about the consequences of sexual violence, to prevent the victims from being expelled from the community, and to help decrease sexual abuse during war and conflict.

What is 3fm serious request?
Every year 3FM, one of Holland’s biggest radio stations, organises a large scale charity event to help the Red Cross in its work. Some of its most notorious DJ’s close themselves in a house made of glass, without food, on a public town square for 4 days, broadcasting 24h live.
The whole nation gets busy supporting this initiative, calling the radio and donating money to request a song to be played on air, or collecting money with big or small actions.
