The United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women: Annual Report 2010

Violence against women stems from discriminatory social attitudes, norms and practices that perpetuate structural gender inequality. Grantees of the UN Trust Fund target prevention approaches to confront these views at the individual, family and community level.

This report highlights practices from 2010 that contribute substantially to our understanding of what works, and what doesn’t, in ending violence against women. Results focus on the UN Trust Fund’s investments in three key areas: prevention, expanding access to survivor services, and strengthening implementation of laws, policies and action plans to end violence against women.
