Reduce Domestic Abuse Rates Globally

The issue

Domestic abuse is a deeply rooted issue, one that continues to affect millions of people globally. As it stands, an alarming 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner globally (World Health Organization). This petition is urgent; the onus is on us to demand a policy level change to combat this widespread problem. Alongside policy reform, there needs to be an emphasis on preventive education, better support for victims, stricter penalties for the perpetrators and a holistic societal shift. Enough is enough. The impunity enjoyed by offenders must end. Every signature collected is a step towards creating safe homes where love does not equate abuse. Your support is needed—sign the petition.
