WERC stands together with women activists against the intensification of all forms of violence against women. The UN estimates that around one billion women will face gender-based violence in their lifetime. Unite to end violence against women!

End the indignity of FGM!

In light of the above, we call upon the editors of the Daily Mirror and the journalist concerned to clarify what the survey mentioned in the article signifies and to issue a retraction of the article as soon as possible. (5/5)
We at the Women's Education and Research Centre strongly condemn the publishing of a recent article by the Daily Mirror newspaper on December 21 titled “Girls raped at their own will”. We would like to point out that rape by definition is sexual intercourse without consent, (1/5)
