According to the United Nations, nearly one in three women have been abused in their lifetime. A new report from UN Women, based on data from 13 countries since the pandemic, showed that two out of three women reported that they or a woman they know experienced some form of violence and are more likely to face food insecurity. Only one of 10 women said that victims would go to the police for help.

The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women marks the launch of the UNiTE to End Violence against Women campaign (Nov 25- Dec 10) — an initiative of 16 days of activism concluding on December 10 – International Human Rights Day.

To mark this occassion, Bengaluru’s non-profit theatre group, Theatre For Change, is organising a panel discussion on violence against women.
