Pledge to end violence against women and girls
Take the pledge and together let’s end violence against women and girls
Violence against women and girls can be found everywhere including in our homes, on our streets, online, in our educational institutions and our workplaces. We know that most violence against women is committed by men, but it’s largely considered a women’s issue and this needs to change.
We particularly hope men will commit to the pledge below and look at the resources however everyone is welcome to sign it and educate themselves about what more they can do to make a positive difference.
