We hope the awards will inspire even more people to volunteer in 2006 and really make a difference to both their life and their communities.

We hope that tens of thousands of people will take a look. It's also timed with the Video Music Awards, Jennifer Lopez is up for an award. It will help drive traffic, having auctions coordinated with these events.

I hope that some people who do not consider themselves feminists will still attend some of the events and gain a better understanding of how issues that they might be interested in are also women's issues.

I think it is a wonderful idea. We have had awards before, but they fell away, and I hope that this doesn't happen.

People just can't go on with an awards show like nothing happened.

Without those awards, you're not going to get those people going to authorities. There aren't very many ways to fight fraud, and this turns out to be a very good one.
