Violence against women is perhaps one of humanity’s oldest and least punished crimes. Through @CommonwealthSec's new Strategic Plan, we are placing gender at the heart of all we do. No woman is safe until all women are safe. Read my #IDEVAW statement: bit.ly/4pzgVZC
"No woman is safe until all women are safe. And that safety begins where fear ends - in our homes, neighbourhoods, communities and countries." Read a statement from Hon Shirley Botchwey, @SGCommonwealth, on International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women ⬇️ bit.ly/4pzgVZC #NoExcuse #IDEVAW
