Take Action

The World Association has a host of resources that can support you in developing your own campaign. This can also apply to a Member Organisation that wants to tailor the Stop the Violence campaign to their own country context. 

Girls and young women will continue to be affected by violence until there is social change in communities and countries. Ending violence means creating change at many levels: people’s knowledge, attitudes and beliefs, policies and laws, and practice. A campaign to end violence will take significant time and effort to create a change, but the results will speak for themselves.

Coming soon will be more resources on creating your own campaign, including an 11 step guidance document and information on how to run an event.
