Violence Against Women – A Global Epidemic Fuelled By Alcohol

IOGT International calls on political leaders and the women’s rights community around the world to mobilize political will and to summon all efforts to address the role of alcohol in the global epidemic of violence against women.

"The harm that women and girls are exposed to, simply because they are female, is unbearable. The violence must stop. We have to realize that violence against women and girls is not inevitable. Prevention is possible – and the time is now, for mobilizing political will to do so,” says Ms. Kristina Sperkova, President of IOGT International.
