One in three women may suffer from abuse and violence in her lifetime. Perhaps the most pervasive human rights violation that we know today, it devastates lives, fractures communities and stalls development.
We have begun to break the wall of silence by moving the issue onto public agendas everywhere. To bolster our cause, we need your support to show that there is an ever-growing movement of people who demand decisive action on ending violence against women.
The UN Foundation and the UN Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) have supported efforts to link activists and advocates around the world and show how small innovative projects can impact laws, policies and attitudes. This work is supported through the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women that was established in 1996 by the UN General Assembly, and is managed by UNIFEM.
Let survivors of violence around the world know that they can count on us. The UN Foundation will give $1 to UNIFEM for each new person that signs on to the Say NO to Violence against Women Campaign.
Join Nicole Kidman, UNIFEM's Goodwill Ambassador, and add your name to the movement to say NO to violence against women.
We signed the “Add Your Name to End Violence Against Women!” petition!

Women need to get some self-esteem and quit with the culture conditioning that men are superior to them. Only when women think of themselves as equal, then men will do the same.

Violence and abuse inflicted towards females doesn't make a a real man. Such a person who does such a horrid thing of that nature is no different from a beast.

Why does such a crime continue into the 21st Century. I once was in a violent marriage, but now I want to help survivors of domestic violence. It's the secrecy and "shame" that allows domistic violence to flourish.

Crimes against women are all too common and need to be stopped. Where is the justice for those who harm innocent women and young girls?

No woman should be put through any type of violence.
