Ending Violence Against Women & Children

Violence against women takes many devastating forms: domestic abuse behind closed doors, the exploitation of sex trafficking, the painful practice of female genital mutilation – to name a few.

Each of these acts is more than a crime; it is a violation of dignity and humanity, stripping women and girls of safety, choice, and the right to thrive.

Around the world, survivors carry wounds both visible and hidden, yet their courage calls us to stand beside them. When we listen with compassion, name the injustice, and work together for prevention and healing, we affirm that every woman’s life has immeasurable worth and that such degradation has no place in any society.  

The stories that are shared here showcase the work of the Fellows at the Center for Women, Faith & Leadership, and the organizations they lead that support women who have experienced violence.
