Domestic violence happens everywhere. It affects someone near you. At least 1 in 3 women has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime. Usually, the abuser is a member of her own family or someone known to her.
Get active against domestic violence as part of the 16 Days of Activism.
Kicking off on November 25 - International Day Against Violence Against Women – make the human rights of women your business. For 16 days, until December 10 - Human Rights Day – you can take a different action every day. Tell the world about this human rights scandal and make governments act on their obligations to women.
Be an activist against domestic violence!
