VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

Violence against women is a global epidemic with serious health and development impacts on women and girls, their families and their societies. It takes many forms including domestic violence, femicide, harmful traditional practices, rape and sexual coercion, and trafficking.

ICRW works to end violence against women by addressing its root cause: gender inequalities. Our research and programs:

• Challenge social norms that support and condone violence
• Educate children and young people in the social skills needed to handle conflict and have healthy relationships
• Integrate violence prevention into other health programs, such as HIV/AIDS and adolescent health
• Involve boys and young men
• Empower women economically
