Background
Through its programmes and projects, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) is providing technical assistance to national partners (governmental and non-governmental) in the implementation of existing international and national commitments to women’s rights and gender equality, facilitates networking and exchange of good practices and advocates for women’s rights and gender equality in all areas of life.
Ending Violence against Women and Girls is among the five key priority areas within the mandate of UN Women. Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is one of the most widespread violations of human rights. It can include physical, sexual, psychological and economic abuse, and it cuts across boundaries of age, race, culture, wealth and geography. It takes place in the home, on the streets, in schools, and in the workplace. It has many manifestations — from the most prevalent forms of domestic and sexual violence, sexual harassment and stalking to harmful practices.
