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.

Millions of women and girls worldwide lack access to affordable period products, causing them to miss work or school and limiting their opportunities.
