Taking a stand against gender-based violence
ABSOLUTELY SICKENING

International Development Minister Anneliese Dodds has marked the UN's annual 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence by launching a UK Government clampdown targeting internet abusers. The Aberdeen-born minister is working to reduce women and girls' exposure to harmful online content with a £27million global initiative. Here she discusses how the UK Government works with partners to support women and girls year round.

EVERY 10 minutes, a woman somewhere in the world is killed by a family member or partner.

This is an absolutely sickening statistic which simply cannot be tolerated.

Failure to understand the seriousness of abuse against women and girls costs lives.

That's why when I became Minister for Development, I said I'd put women and girls at the heart of everything we do and we're already taking tough action to tackle violence and abuse against women and girls.
