Stop Violence Against Women Campaign:

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 must stop..

Amnesty International’s campaign will:

• Push for the implementation of existing laws that guarantee access to justice and services for survivors of rape and other forms of sexual violence
• Urge the ending of violence against women perpetrated by a state and its agents
• Work to empower women
