4. Responding to Violence
Against Women
• More than 2300 organizations working to end Violence
Against Women
• Limited coordination and communication
• Consequences
• Victim has to repeat their traumatic experience
several times
• Holistic support is not easily available as
organizations focus on a particular area
• Information asymmetry: organizations that could
support a case sometimes may not know the latest
updates about a case
5. Understanding Violence
Against Women
• Paucity of data and information on violence against women
• Strong evidence on the extent of the problem, the causes and
the consequences is difficult to obtain
• News on VAW compiled by a few organizations
• Many sad stories on VAW, but few on the survivors succeed to
reclaim their lives
