The Prize

Alicia Keys had just turned 20 when her debut single, 'Fallin' was released, but originally wrote the song aged just 16 years old.

The track went on to take the world by storm in 2001, hitting the top of the Billboard Hot 100, going at least platinum in eleven countries, and winning three awards at the 2002 Grammys, including Song of the Year.

It confirmed Alicia as a generational talent and set the scene for two decades of commercial success and critical acclaim.

Bid here for your chance to own Alicia’s hand-written lyrics for the song that launched her astonishing career.

Certificate of Authenticity included.

The Cause

Together with The Circle of Women, this International Women’s Day we are asking you to show your solidarity with the one in three women who face gender-based violence around the world.
 
The challenges women face right now are immense. Since 1911, International Women’s Day has celebrated the achievements and strength of women worldwide, yet 2023 has seen a significant rollback of rights for women across the world from Afghanistan to South Africa, Iran to the UK.

1 in 3 women around the world continue to face violence in their lifetime. Despite this horrific statistic only a tiny fraction of global funding – less than 2% - goes towards improving women’s rights and less than 1% of global aid spending targets gender-based violence.  There is SO much more to be done to bring safety and equality to our sisters, mothers and daughters everywhere. 

The Circle has made an immense difference over the years, supporting over 1.4 million people on women’s rights, but we are at a crossroads moment for women around the world. The stronger the movement is the more positive change we will see. Which is why we are asking you this International Women’s Day to #MakeAStandfor1in3 and donate to us and our grassroots partners to continue our fight in ending all violence against women.
