Violence against women and girls remains one of the most prevalent and pervasive human rights violations in the world. Globally, almost one in three women have been subjected to physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both, at least once in their life.
For at least 51,100 women in 2023, the cycle of gender-based violence ended with one final and brutal act—their murder by partners and family members. That means a woman was killed every 10 minutes.
This scourge has intensified in different settings, including the workplace and online spaces, and has been exacerbated by conflicts, and climate change.
The solution lies in robust responses, holding perpetrators accountable, and accelerating action through well-resourced national strategies and increased funding to women’s rights movements.

| Cultural Survival presents Justice for Indigenous Women! – 10 mins 53 secs
Violence against Indigenous women is a pervasive and multifaceted issue that includes physical, sexual, emotional, and economic abuse, often rooted in the historical and ongoing impacts of colonization, racism, and systemic inequality. Indigenous women face disproportionately high rates of violence, including intimate partner violence, human trafficking, and murder, frequently exacerbated by the lack of access to justice and inadequate responses from law enforcement. In this radio program, Cultural Survival's Dev Kumar Sunuwar speaks to Yasso Kanti Bhattachan (Thakali) to learn more about the unique forms of violence faced by Indigenous women of Nepal. Produced by Dev Kumar Sunuwar Voices: Yasso Kanti Bhattachan (Thakali) Music: 'Remember Your Children' by Salidummay, used with permission.
