UN Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women
Violence against women is one of the most pervasive and systematic human rights violations in the world today. The UN Trust Fund, which UN Women manages, is a leading global mechanism to advance action to end this pandemic. It provides grants which support local and national efforts to reach women at risk and to generate change. Grants fund public education and awareness campaigns, establishment of support networks, training programmes for healthcare personnel and law enforcement agencies, and work to document the prevalence of violence against women. Many projects strive to alter community attitudes and involve men as allies.
Projects are selected annually and UN Women always receives many more excellent proposals than it has funds to support. The Trust Fund supports the UN Secretary General’s UNiTE to End Violence Against Women campaign which is mobilising action across the UN system
