Did you know that 1 in 3 women have survived physical or sexual violence?

Today, 1 in 5 women alive were forced into marriage as a child and, each year, 3 million girls are at risk of female genital mutilation (FGM), a dangerous human rights abuse.

It can happen to any woman or girl, anywhere, regardless of her race, ethnicity, class, age, religion, sexuality, or other identity. Each experience of violence strips away their right to safety, dignity, autonomy, and respect.

UNFPA is on a mission to end violence against women. Here’s how we’re making a difference:

*
UNFPA
is
supporting
survivors
of
violence
with
clinical
treatment
for
rape,
legal
aid,
mental
health
counseling,
and
safe
spaces,
so
they
can
get
the
care
they
need
to
heal
and
rebuild
their
lives.
*
We’re
working
with
communities
to
raise
awareness
about
women’s
rights,
including
by
engaging
religious
leaders,
community
elders,
and
men
and
boys.
*
We’re
also
advocating
for
governments
to
adopt
policies
that
safeguard
women’s
health
and
rights
and
further
gender
equality.

The consequences of violence are devastating: Survivors of violence can suffer sexual and reproductive health consequences, including unintended pregnancies, unsafe abortions, traumatic fistula, sexually transmitted infections including HIV, and even death.

All too often violence is tolerated or carried out by the people a woman loves and trusts most — her partner or her family. Every 11 minutes a woman or girl is killed by a loved one.

We work to address violence against women and girls at the individual, community, and national levels because violence against women and girls is often tolerated and perpetuated by those in power.

In 2022 alone, we reached 2 million women and girls with violence prevention or protection services, protected 111,245 girls from female genital mutilation, and reached 347,000 women with disabilities with services related to violence, harmful practices and critical health care.

Will you make a gift to help eradicate violence against women and girls around the world? Your support will go toward initiatives that reach survivors of violence with care and that work with communities to advocate for women and girls’ rights, health, and safety. [[link removed]]
