| Info: | The Pre Juno Joint! Recording Artist Eternia Releases Music Video for “Love” Exploring Violence Against Women Toronto/mondomedeusah – In celebration of March’s Women’s History Month, Canadian recording artist Eternia examines the prevalence of violence against women in Canada and around the world. Eternia is drawing from the third single “Love” released from her Juno-nominated album “It’s Called Life” to raise awareness for Amnesty International's campaign to Stop Violence Against Women. This sensitive and critical issue is portrayed through the music video for “Love”, which features guest vocals of Eternia’s sister – Jessica Kaya, and which is slated for release in Canada, Australia and select US markets throughout March 2006. “In their lifetime, more than one in three women around the world report being abused or suffer from other forms of violence,” explains Eternia. "Love" is the most personal and meaningful song I have ever created; it illustrates the struggles of physical and emotional abuse my mother suffered at the hands of my father, while having to raise us. Many women endure abusive relationships, thinking that is the only way to survive and raise their children. "Love" is my way of expressing a mothers' ultimate sacrifice for her children." Non-profit organization The 411 Initiative For Change (411), uses musicians as the media to engage and educate young people on pressing social issues. 411 facilitated this collaboration between Eternia and Amnesty International. “Amnesty International is the world’s largest human rights organization,” explains 411 Executive Director Tamara Dawit. “Artists, like Eternia have the unique humility to use their prominence in bringing awareness to issues of importance to young people. With just over half of the women in Canada reporting having been victims of at least one act of violence since the age of 16, this is an issue of great importance to Canadians.” Amnesty International has more than one million members around the world – which includes thousands of Canadians; – who are putting pressure on decision-makers to stop violence against women in families, communities, and conflict zones as well as violence tolerated by government authorities. “Each person can help stop violence against women, but only if we speak out,” asserts Eternia. “I hope that I can inspire other young people to affect change in their communities.” Eternia has rocked rhymes from crowded subway cars in the Bronx to shows across Canada, the US and Australia. Following a slew of successful singles, videos and feature releases, her first full-length, It’s Called Life, came out in Canada and Australia in October 2005. “Love” Video Release Party Mon.
