Week Without Violence is part of a global movement to end violence against women and girls. This year’s theme, will shine a spotlight on a critical reality: young people are disproportionately impacted by intimate partner violence, sexual assault, grooming, and exploitation, yet their voices are often missing from conversations about prevention, healing, and systemic change. Through storytelling, education, and dialogue, Week Without Violence will create space for young people, survivors, advocates, and communities to come together to envision a future free from violence.
