Violence against women and girls (VAWG) remains the most prevalent and pervasive human rights violation in the world.

🔸 Globally, an estimated 736 million women - nearly one in three - have experienced physical and/or sexual violence by an intimate partner, non-partner sexual violence, or both at least once in their lives.

🔸 In the past year alone, 1 in 8 women and girls aged 15-49 has faced intimate partner violence.

🔸 In 2022, on average, more than five women or girls were killed every hour by someone in their own family.

🔸If there is no accelerated action, 9 million girls will still marry in childhood by the year 2030.

🔸 Globally, over 230 million girls and women have undergone female ge***al mutilation, representing a 15% increase - or 30 million more girls and women - compared to data from eight years ago.
