25 November 2016 – Oxfam has launched a new campaign ENOUGH: Together We Can End Violence Against Women & Girls. The campaign focuses on challenging harmful social norms and the primary focus is national campaigning, with an emphasis on co-creation of national campaigns with women’s rights organisations and movements. The first countries to launch the campaign are: Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Morocco, Pakistan, South Africa, and Zambia. Many more countries will join next year.

Every minute of the day, violence is devastating the lives of millions of women and girls around the world. It is a global crisis, already affecting one in three women in their lifetime, devastating their lives and fracturing communities.

Violence against women and girls knows no boundaries of geography or culture – but those living in poverty face higher levels of abuse. It is rooted in the inequality between men and women that women and girls face throughout their lives. Read more.

Many believe that family, friends and other important people in their lives think that violence toward women and girls is normal behaviour, so they don’t challenge it – even if they believe it’s not acceptable.

But as the video and stories across the world show, people are standing up and speaking out. Women’s rights organisations are already saving lives in tackling violence against women and girls. We stand with them to call for all women, men, girls and boys to say ‘Enough’ to violence against women and girls.

Together we can change these harmful beliefs. What is learned can be unlearned.
