End Violence Against Women

End Violence Against Women

We are proud to be fundraising for End Violence Against Women Coalition (EVAW).

EVAW is a leading voice in the UK dedicated to creating a society free from violence against women and girls (VAWG). This powerful coalition brings together over 160 specialist women's support services, academics, and campaigners, united by a shared vision of equality and safety.

EVAW works to end VAWG through a strategic, multi-faceted approach: Influencing Policy and Law: Expert campaigners, rigorously lobbying the UK government to strengthen laws, improve policies, and secure vital funding for services that protect and support women and girls. They strive to ensure that national and local authorities take comprehensive steps to prevent and eliminate violence.

Fierce advocates for the specialist women's services across the UK. They campaign tirelessly for these essential, often underfunded, services to receive the resources they need to help survivors.

EVAW played a crucial role in shaping the Online Safety Act, pushing for measures that hold tech companies accountable and make the internet safer for women and girls. They consistently highlight the failings within the justice system, particularly concerning sexual violence, and campaign for reforms to better serve survivors.

A growing area of their prevention work includes actively engaging men and boys. EVAW recognises the importance of involving men and boys in challenging harmful attitudes and behaviors, and being involved in the movement to end violence against women and girls.
