End Violence against Women
Violence against women and girls is a global epidemic, taking physical, sexual, and psychological forms that devastate lives and communities.
Today, we stand with women and girls around the world to demand change.
- Female victims of trafficking are three times more likely to suffer severe abuse than male victims.
- Violence, abuse and femicide force women to flee their homeland.
- Countless women and children fleeing violence face additional dangers on their journey, including sexual assault, coercion, and exploitation.
- On some migration routes, half or more women report experiencing sexual violence, leading many to take birth control as a heartbreaking precaution against pregnancy as a result of rape.
- Survivors bear the scars of violence: physical injuries, STDs, depression, PTSD, and social stigma.
Smugglers exploit women’s vulnerabilities, coercing them into exchanging sex for transportation or placing them in cycles of debt and abuse.
Shockingly, one-third of abusers were reported to wear uniforms, exposing the systemic failures which allow those that are supposed to protect, to abuse.
Violence against women and girls is a violation of human rights. No woman or girl should endure violence, fear, or silence. End violence against women now!
