Soroptimists UpliftHER: Intimate Family Violence
Intimate partner violence is devastatingly common for women and girls around the globe.
- Nearly 1 in 3 women will experience it during their lifetime according to the World Health Organization.
- Financial abuse occurs in 99% of domestic violence cases where abusers control or sabotage their partner’s financial resources.
- When women and girls are educated, they have the skills to command decent wages and the resources to escape unsafe relationships sooner.
