Imagine... a world without violence against women and girls... Where they are free from human rights violations; fear, threats, domination, discrimination, intimidation, slavery, oppression, exploitation; and all the dangerous perils... Of angry, aggressive, cowardice, depraved, despicable and evil "men” who manipulate, abuse, beat, mutilate, torture, rape and kill... If only we lived in such a world where women and girls were safe and free from harm... it's entirely possible... with every good man’s determination; restraint, compassion, patience, dignity, decency, humanity; respect and will.

Anonymous Male, Scotland

Violence against women is everyone’s problem - it destroys the lives of women and children in all regions, in all social classes, and across all countries.
