Take Action on Gender Issues
Violencia de género
Violence against women is a cancer eating away the core of every society, in every country of the world. This truth is at the core of a multifaceted campaign launched today by Amnesty International to provide women and men around the world with opportunities to demand an end to the many forms of violence to which women are subjected every day.
