Domestic violence happens everywhere. It affects someone near you. At least 1 in 3 women has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime. Usually, the abuser is a member of her own family or someone known to her.

For the 16 Days of Activism (25 November – 10 December) we launched shelter stories and the interactive online game “March Against Domestic Violence”. Until the end of February 2007, you’ll be able to continue to take action.

Make the human rights of women your business. Tell the world about this human rights scandal and make governments act on their obligations to women.

Be an activist against domestic violence!
