Grassroots Voices: End Violence Against Women in Sweden

End Violence Against Women in Malmö

On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women local women’s organizations gathered in central Malmö for a light manifestation. We were there on the cold November night, lighting candles to bring attention to violence against women in Sweden. Girls’ Globe asked these organizations about their priorities to end violence against women, here’s what they had to say.

Turning the Tide on Sexual Violence

Turning the Tide on Sexual Violence by Ashley Lackovich-Van Gorp for Girls' Globe

Behind the statistics are women and girls – individuals who could be you or me. As I move forward in the fight for the health, rights and dignity of all of us, I collect more and more memories of my time with survivors. The more memories I gather, the more often they crawl out from the corners of my mind when I’m least expecting them.
