Violence against women: combating it through education with Aide et Action

27 April 2022

1 in 3 women in the world is beaten.
1 in 5 women in the world is raped.

Every day, in every country and in every stratum of society, new cases of violence against women make the headlines. Murders, beatings, rapes, assaults - the examples of cruelty by some against the "weaker sex" are multiplying. And this despite centuries of mobilisation, demands and laws proclaimed to recognise the rights of girls and women.

So if laws are powerless, what can be done to put a stop to this tide? For Aide et Action, education remains one of the major keys to stopping this scourge, to teaching men to listen and respect, and to giving women the keys to their own destiny.
