Violence against women is often ignored and rarely punished. Women and girls suffer disproportionately from violence – both in peace and in war, at the hands of the state, the community and the family. A life free from violence is a basic human right. From the home to the conflict zone, violence against women must stop.

Life Watch is campaigning to Stop Violence Against Women:

• Pushes for the implementation of existing laws that guarantee access to justice and services for women subjected to violence including rape and other forms of sexual violence;
• Calls for new laws to be enacted that will protect women’s human rights;
• Demands an end to laws that discriminate against women;
• Urges the ending of violence against women perpetrated by a state and its agents;
• Works to empower women
