Despite promising trends, there remains a vast gap between policy promises and the reach and impact of existing interventions, as well as a dearth of evidence-based knowledge on effective practices. Many women and girls remain at risk, without protection or access to services, and many laws and policies have been adopted without concrete implementation plans or budgets.
The UN Trust Fund has a key role to play in ending violence against women and girls by supporting the Secretary-General's UNiTE Campaign and by galvanizing governments, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector to join in the effort. The UN Trust Fund calls upon the public and private spheres to seize the unprecedented opportunity available in the next five years to turn promise into reality for the vast numbers of women and girls who experience violence in their lifetime.
