All girls and women must be able to exercise their full human rights — free from violence and fear.
Every woman and girl has the right to feel safe…
· at work
· walking alone in public
· at home
· online
· in public transportation
EVERYWHERE.
We all have a role to play. Governments must invest in preventing violence, enforce laws, and end impunity. Each of us can help — by speaking out against harassment, challenging stereotypes, supporting women’s organizations and more.
As the 70th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women — the world’s largest gathering on gender equality and women’s rights — wraps up at UN Headquarters in NYC, UN Women continues working worldwide to build a world where women and girls can live free from fear and fully exercise their rights.
