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!

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

Services for women & girls experiencing violence can be the difference between life and death.
Shelters, hotlines, counseling and all support for survivors of gender-based violence need to be available for those in need.
