We’ve been advised to stay home to be safe from #COVID19, but what if home is where she feels unsafe?
Domestic violence has surged during the pandemic, but we can all help survivors get the support they need.

Women leaders face heightened risk of violence.
Yet, when women are underrepresented in decision-making, their needs are often overlooked.

Women are feeling less safe in public spaces during #COVID19.
Violence against women outside the home restricts women’s mobility, limiting their access to employment, essential services & leisure activities.

When violence happens, women are reluctant to seek help outside the family. New data shows most would seek help from a family member rather than from the authorities.

Violence against women & girls is inherently connected to other forms of harm and injustice, including racism, homophobia, xenophobia, ableism and poverty.
Strengthen the fight against gender-based violence by joining other social & political movements!
