Annotation:
Ending Widespread Violence Against Women is one part of the UNFPA's Promoting Gender Equality website. This section of the website notes that "violence against women has been called 'the most pervasive yet least recognized human rights abuse in the world'" and seeks to raise awareness and share information. The website provides a background to the different forms of violence that women and girls face. A subsection of the website focuses specifically on the issue of trafficking. It also links to other resources and websites on gender-based violence against women. [Descriptors: Violence Against Women - International]
