Every girl and every woman has the right to be safe.

It's time to prevent violence, hold perpetrators accountable and put an end to violence against women and girls.

Consent must be informed, freely given and respected at all times.

Disregarding someone’s consent is never acceptable — and neither is blaming anyone whose consent has been violated.

It's time to build a culture where consent is understood, respected and upheld.
