WHERE THE FUNDS GO
You are helping to support survivors and keep women and girls around the world Safe. Everywhere. Always.
By walking in solidarity this 16 Days of Activism, you are supporting the 1 in 3 women who experience violence in their lifetime.
Violence against women is a grave violation of human rights. It comes in many forms and its impacts are deep.
It affects women of all backgrounds and can include domestic violence, sexual harassment, genital mutilation, trafficking, conflict-related sexual violence and gender-related killings. While survivors of gender-based violence experience the physical and psychological impacts, the consequences can also hinder women’s full participation in society, impacting families, communities and entire nations.
While decades of campaigning have put ending gender-based violence high on national and international agendas, there is still not enough being done to prevent violence.
The funds you raise will help UN Women’s work to prevent and respond to violence against women across the globe. All funds will be distributed to global programs by the UN Trust Fund, managed by UN Women.
Support the only global fund against violence against women
The UN Trust Fund is the largest international financing fund for combating all forms of violence against women and girls. Through violence prevention programs, legislation and improving access to essential services for victims, the UN Trust Fund has improved the lives of millions of women and girls over the last 20 years.
Why is the Trust Fund necessary?
Worldwide, one in three women will experience violence in their lives. This can take all kinds of forms, from sexual harassment to sexual assault and rape, from domestic violence to manslaughter and from forced marriage to genital mutilation.
