(BMLTV) UNITED NATIONS,October 16,2013 - Every year, millions of women and girls worldwide suffer some form of violence, be it domestic violence, rape, female genital mutilation/cutting, dowry-related killing, trafficking, sexual violence in conflict-related situations, or other manifestations of abuse.
Launched in 2008, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s UNiTE to End Violence against Women campaign is a multi-year effort aimed at raising public awareness and increasing political will and resources for preventing and ending violence against women and girls in all parts of the world.
The campaign calls on governments, civil society, women’s organizations, young people, the private sector, the media and the entire UN system to join forces in addressing this global pandemic.
