Why is the UN Trust Fund neccessary?
Worldwide, one in three women will experience violence in their lives. From domestic violence to trafficking, it manifests in many forms with profound physical, psychological, and societal consequences. Despite decades of advocacy, its prevalence remains alarmingly high. The UN Trust Fund supports legal reforms, social and cultural change, and provides vital resources to grassroots organisations working to eradicate violence against women and girls in all its forms. The UN Trust Fund provides crucial support to ensure women and girls are Safe. Everywhere. Always.
