Globally, 1 in 3 women will be beaten or sexually abused in their lifetime. Rooted in gender inequality, gender-based violence threatens the lives and wellbeing of girls and women and prevents them from realising their potential.
Ending gender-based violence is a priority for the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). We are using our diplomatic partnerships, development programmes and research and evidence to drive national and international action to end all forms of gender-based violence. This includes support to survivors of violence to access medical treatment, psychosocial support, and legal assistance. It also includes investment in preventing gender-based violence by changing attitudes and behaviour.
This page provides an overview of the UK’s support to end gender-based violence. Between April 2021 and March 2023, 4.2 million people were reached with gender-based violence prevention or response services through bilateral FCDO support.
