18.4% in India. UN Women data reports that 18.4% of Indian women aged 15–49 who had ever been partnered experienced physical and/or sexual violence by a current or former intimate partner in the previous 12 months in the available dataset. Every percentage represents real lives.
99 discriminatory laws. Over the past five years, 99 discriminatory laws have been reformed globally. Legal change matters—but implementation matters just as much.
708 million women. An estimated 708 million women were outside the global labour force in 2023 because of unpaid care responsibilities. When care becomes a barrier to opportunity, dignity requires shared responsibility.
1 in 3 women. Nearly 1 in 3 women globally—about 840 million—have experienced physical and/or sexual violence from a partner or non-partner in their lifetime. This is not a private issue. It is a global human rights crisis.
The strength of a society is reflected in how it treats those whose voices are easiest to ignore. Protecting women’s dignity is not a favour—it is a responsibility.

Violence against women is not limited to physical harm. It can be emotional, verbal, financial, institutional, or social. Every form of abuse leaves scars that deserve to be acknowledged. #ReclaimingDignity
