Building the evidence base on the size and nature of violence against women in different settings and supporting countries' efforts to document and measure this violence and its consequences, including improving the methods for measuring violence against women in the context of monitoring for the Sustainable.

Acknowledging the Crisis

Violence against women and girls remains one of the most pervasive human rights violations worldwide. From domestic abuse to trafficking and gender-based violence in conflict settings, this issue transcends borders and affects individuals across all socio-economic strata. Acknowledging the urgency and magnitude of this crisis is the first step toward systemic change.

Empowering Change Through Knowledge

To combat violence effectively, we must first understand it. Building a comprehensive evidence base on the size, nature, and consequences of violence against women and girls is crucial. Such a platform will provide not only data but also narratives, giving voice to the silenced and marginalized.

Holistic Documentation

Our initiative aims to document violence in its many forms—physical, emotional, economic, and systemic—ensuring no aspect is overlooked. We seek to bring to light the nuanced realities of survivors while capturing the cultural, legal, and societal dimensions that perpetuate this violence.

Enhancing Measurement and Monitoring

Effective policies require robust data. By developing innovative and inclusive methodologies to measure violence, we enable better monitoring, policy formulation, and targeted interventions. This approach aligns with global commitments like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 5, which seeks gender equality and empowerment for all women and girls.

Driving Action Through Collaboration

We invite governments, NGOs, academic institutions, and international organizations to join forces. This platform will serve as a hub for sharing best practices, research findings, and actionable strategies to eliminate violence against women and girls.

Fostering Resilience and Recovery

Beyond measurement, our focus includes survivor support, from legal aid to psychological counseling, and community reintegration programs. By showcasing these efforts, the platform aims to inspire hope and encourage the replication of successful models.

Global Commitment, Local Impact

While the issue is global, solutions must be tailored to local contexts. Our platform will emphasize local ownership, supporting countries' efforts to document and measure violence while providing tools and guidance for their unique challenges.

A Call for Action

This website will be a call to action for individuals, communities, and nations. Together, we can break the cycle of violence, empower survivors, and create societies where women and girls can thrive without fear.
