Summary

Description

A view over part of Valhalla Park, in Cape Town, South Africa. The violent legacy of the apartheid regime, rising unemployment and the increasing gap between rich and poor fuels violence, drug abuse and gang culture in the country.

Background

In March 2013 the United Nation's Commission on the Status of Women will meet to discuss how to prevent all forms of violence against women and girls.

This International Women's Day, help demand action by sending a message to global leaders that it's time to put a stop to this worldwide injustice.

UK aid is working in 21 countries to address physical and sexual violence against women and girls and will be supporting 10 million women and girls with improved access to security and justice services by 2015.
