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.

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

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!

It's 2022 and violence is still a real threat to too many women & girls worldwide.
In the last 12 months, more than 1 in every 10 women & girls were subject to sexual and/or physical violence by an intimate partner.
