Globally, an estimated 736 million women—almost one in three—have experienced physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both at least once in their life.
We must end violence against women.

1 in 3 women experience violence in their lifetime.
A failure to end violence against women poses a risk to climate change mitigation, adaptation & resilience.
We cannot address the climate crisis without ending violence against women. #SDGs #OrangeDay unwo.men/hwBq50I4QWW
