Violence against women takes many different forms, but it affects every country, culture and social class.
Exclusion from education, Female Genital Mutilation, early or forced marriage, limited access to training and employment opportunities, and restrictions on participation in social and political life. All of this limits the freedom, health and future of millions of girls and women around the world, preventing them from freely choosing their own path in life.
