Violence Against Women-A Global Outlook
Violence against women (VAW) is one of the most widespread violations of human rights — one in three women will suffer some form of violence in her lifetime. VAW is not only an individual's experience, but it is also a universal occurrence, affecting women and girls regardless of nationality, race, class, ethnicity, or religion. And while VAW crosses these lines, it also intersects with other issues, such as racism, immigration, HIV/AIDS, and war. This collection of videos highlights different types of violence against women globally, its intersections and linkages, and the activism conducted to combat this violence. To learn more about the Center for women's Global Leadership and the VAW advocacy work it conducts at the United Nations, visit: www.CWGL.rutgers.edu For more information on regional and local activism against VAW, and to find actions near you, check out the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence Campaign: www.cwgl.rutgers.edu/16days/home.html To learn more about those who work to prevent violence against women and other human rights violations against women, visit: www.defendingwomen-defendingrights.org
