Tomorrow is the international day of elimination o Tomorrow is the international day of elimination of violence against women and girls. Last year, in the UK alone, an estimated 1.6 million women aged 16 to 74 years were victims of domestic violence. Predictions estimate that this figure has increased significantly as a results of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

We firmly believe that we can and must end violence and injustice against women around the world and the only way we can do this is with love and support.

On this day we bring our thoughts and actions to raise awareness for those of us who have been victims of such violations of human rights. 

Always remember you are not alone. If you have been victim of any gender-based violence and are in need of support please do not hesitate to contact us on info@wanduk.org
