'We must enlist men and boys in the fight to end violence against women'

Article here. Excerpt:

''It may seem foolish to be optimistic on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The World Health Organisation affirms that one in three women will experience violence from a male partner. A recent UN study in a half-dozen Asian countries finds that one in four men have raped.

Our optimism stems from an extraordinary change across the globe: more and more men are finally joining women to say all forms of violence against women must end. Even more critically, men around the world are saying we must play a key role in creating a future without violence against women.

Men have joined women in India, Africa and the Middle East to protest highly publicised crimes against women; in Europe and the Americas, they increasingly speak out. Together with women, we are calling on governments to take action and uphold the laws. The news from the UK that Clare's law will now cover all of England and Wales is one example of a victory in this fight. We hope there will be many more of this kind.

To create a lasting end to men's violence against women, it's time to move from small-scale programming by hard-working NGOs to large-scale efforts across our societies, in our schools and workplaces, transforming our families, and creating the future that women, our children and, indeed, men truly deserve.'
