Violence Prevention Month - Senior's Circle Presents: Ageing and Gender Abuse 2

Violence against women and girls is a devastating and widespread human rights violation in our world today. Due to

stigma and shame, a lot of it goes unreported. We see it in:

• Intimate partner violence- beatings, marital rape, killings

• Sexual violence and harassment – unwanted sexual advances, child sexual abuse, stalking, etc.

• Human trafficking; child marriage; genital mutilation

One of CWN’s activities to mark this period is the Seniors Circle presents Ageing and Gender Abuse 2: Screening of short film/s and luncheon.
