Violence against women and girls in the family, in a relationship, at school, on the street, in the workplace, during war, still occurs regularly in Africa, Asia and the Middle East with impunity. V-Day works to end this violence by partnering directly with women’s organizations in these regions who are working to end violence against women and girls in all its forms changing minds, changing laws, changing lives.
