Violence affects women at every stage of their lives. More than 1 in 3 women experience gender-based violence during their lifetime.

What steps can you take to end gender-based violence in your community?

Rural women are frontline warriors in the battle against climate change. They face its harshest impacts yet often lack resources and support. It's time for climate justice for rural women – empowering them to adapt, thrive, and lead sustainable solutions. #womenforclimatejustice

Access to menstrual hygiene is a fundamental human right.

Yet, many people who menstruate experience period poverty and are unable to access sanitary products, menstrual hygiene education, & sanitation facilities.

Governments need to prioritize menstrual equity policy.

[GBV Prevention Net @GBVnet]

Sexual harassment in the workplace is a form of violence against women, causing severe emotional and psychological damage to women.

Every woman has a right to feel safe, respected and dignified at their workplace.
