Many women experience violence. No matter where they live, where they come from, how old they are or what school-leaving qualification they have. Regardless of whether or what they do for a living and what their financial situation is - violence can strike anyone. 

Women's rights are human rights. Women have a legal right to protection from violence or the threat of violence. Different laws regulate the criminal liability of sexual violence, violence in a relationship, sexual abuse, stalking or forced marriage. 

If you yourself are affected or if relatives suffer violence, please contact 08000 116 016.
