How funding women’s organizations prevents violence against women

The urgent need to fund women’s organizations fighting violence against women and girls cannot be overstated.

Women’s rights organizations serve as the frontline champions in the drive for a more equitable and violence-free world.

Many women’s rights organizations working on the ground, including those working with survivors, are also chronically underfunded with just 5 per cent of Official Development Assistance allocated to ending violence against women reaching them.

In a world where the need for gender equality and violence prevention remains urgent, governments and institutions must acknowledge, empower, and invest in the unwavering efforts of women’s organizations.

Women’s rights organizations are committed to creating a safer, more equitable, and just society for women and girls everywhere, and a brighter and more promising future for all.
