POLISHED MAN CAMPAIGN
WHAT IS
POLISHED MAN?
Polished Man is an innovative
fundraising campaign that
challenges men to paint one
nail, to represent the 1 in 5
children that experience
violence globally.
WHY MEN?
Over 90% of sexual
violence against children
is perpetrated by men. At
YGAP we believe that
men have a leading role
in ending this violence
against children.
