 Violence against women and girls, VWG, is a global human rights and public health concern. Food insecurity is a sign of severe poverty, and likely to heighten women's vulnerability to VWG and men's perpetration of it. There is strong evidence that food insecurity is linked to VWG, as food insecure households are more likely to experience violence. Additionally, VWG can cause food insecurity by making women more impoverished after leaving a violent household. To prevent VWG, strategies to ensure households have access to sufficient food and safe relationships are urgently needed. This article was authored by Abigail M.
