"Violence against women and girls is one of the most prevalent human rights violations in the world. It knows no social, economic or national boundaries. Worldwide, an estimated one in three women will experience physical or sexual abuse in her lifetime.
Gender-based
violence undermines the health, dignity, security and autonomy of its victims,
yet it remains shrouded in a culture of silence. Victims of violence can suffer
sexual and reproductive health consequences, including forced and unwanted
pregnancies, unsafe abortions, traumatic fistula, sexually transmitted
infections including HIV, and even death."
