Violence Against Women

Violence against women is one of the most pervasive and devastating human rights violations in the world, affecting millions of women and girls across all cultures, socio-economic backgrounds, and regions. It takes multiple forms—including physical, sexual, psychological, and economic abuse—and occurs in both private and public spaces. Despite increased awareness and policy efforts, violence against women remains deeply rooted in gender inequality, cultural norms, and systemic power imbalances. The global statistics are staggering: according to the World Health Organization, 1 in 3 women worldwide has experienced physical or sexual violence in her lifetime, most often at the hands of an intimate partner. Forms of violence range from domestic abuse, sexual harassment, and trafficking to harmful traditional practices such as female genital mutilation (FGM), child marriage, and honor-based violence. In conflict zones and humanitarian settings, sexual violence is used as a weapon of war, leaving survivors with long-lasting physical and psychological trauma. Legal and judicial systems play a vital role in preventing and responding to violence against women. However, many survivors face numerous obstacles in seeking justice, including victim-blaming, lack of legal literacy, fear of retaliation, inadequate support services, and insufficient law enforcement training.
