End Violence Against Women Fund

About

In honor of International Day on the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we created a fund to support organizations whose work tackles one the most serious yet most tolerated human rights violations: violence against women and girls. This group of organizations works towards changing underlying cultural and social behavior, improving laws and the justice system, and eliminating inequality by empowering women and girls. We deeply believe that a world in which women and girls live free from violence and are equal members of society is possible.
