Women's Human rights:


Stop Violence Against Women Campaign (SVAW)
In 2004, Amnesty International launched its global Stop Violence Against Women Campaign (SVAW) to help break the silence around this scandal and create a world where women and girls are afforded their basic human rights. Across the globe, Amnesty International members have united to work towards making women's human rights a reality; the campaign is intended as a contribution to the efforts of the women's rights movements around the world. With this campaign, Amnesty International will show that the right of women to be free from violence is integral to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As long as violence against women continues, the promise of human rights can never be fulfilled.
