Sexual violence prevention

Sexual violence can happen to anybody. However, we know that women, children and young people face the highest prevalence of sexual violence.

We strongly believe that sexual violence is a violation of human rights and is unacceptable, so we are committed to preventing and responding to all forms of sexual violence in our communities.
