Violence against women and girls remains one of the most prevalent and pervasive human rights violations in the world. Globally, an estimated 736 million women - almost one in three - have been subjected to physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both, at least once in their life.
This scourge has intensified in different settings, including the workplace and online spaces, and has been exacerbated by post-pandemic effects, conflicts, and climate change.

"Generative AI is revolutionizing the way people access information, produce, receive and interact with content. While these innovations offer previously unimaginable positive gains, they also raise concerns for the overall protection and promotion of all human rights, with a particular concern for the safety of woman and girls."
Technology Facilitated Gender-Based Violence in Times of Generative AI
in UNESCO report
The solution lies in robust responses, including investment in prevention. However, alarmingly, data on how much nations are committing to counteract violence against women and girls remains glaringly sparse.
Note: The report can be proposed for Higher Education students to read discuss and make heir own conclusions.

Education:
How much does the world care about ending violence against women and girls? We don’t know.
What we do know, is that the human cost of violence against women and girls is incalculable.
The adverse psychological, sexual and reproductive health consequences of VAWG affect women at all stages of their life. For example, early-set educational disadvantages not only represent the primary obstacle to universal schooling and the right to education for girls; down the line they are also to blame for restricting access to higher education and even translate into limited opportunities for women in the labour market.
While gender-based violence can happen to anyone, anywhere, some women and girls are particularly vulnerable - for instance, young girls and older women, migrants and refugees, indigenous women and ethnic minorities, or women and girls living with HIV and disabilities, and those living through humanitarian crises.
