Ending Violence Against Women & Girls
Building A Shared Future Together
One in three women are survivors of physical or sexual violence. This is unacceptable. We now have evidence-based policies and programs to prevent it in a matter of years, not decades, including the RESPECT framework outlining 7 strategies to prevent violence against women and girls.
A group of private funders, bilaterals, researchers, practitioners and advocates are forming a new initiative to increase investments in evidence-based programming to prevent violence against women and girls. We’re building global shared agendas to focus violence prevention efforts and speak with a common voice. And we want your input. Scroll down to learn more.

Building Shared Agendas
Shared Advocacy Agenda
We have developed a plan of action to improve existing policies and programs and increase investments for evidence-based programming. This plan outlines how we will build sustainable and global efforts and progress to end VAWG.
Global Shared Research Agenda
A new research agenda set to transform the field of research in the prevention of violence against women. Meet the Global Shared Research Agenda.
In 2015, the governments of the United Nations committed to the ambitious task of eliminating violence against women and girls by 2030 (SDG 5.2). The world is vastly off track – with only ten years left to achieve this. The time to take action is now.
