The Coalition
End Violence Against Women (EVAW) is a groundbreaking coalition representing 7 million individuals and organisations across the UK. Three million women experience rape, domestic violence, forced marriage or another form of violence each year across the UK. We believe we can and must create a world free from the threat and reality of violence against women.

With our members, we have successfully campaigned for the UK Government to develop a cross-government strategy on violence against women and girls (VAWG); this was launched in November 2009. In response, we are now developing a major project to focus on the crucial and neglected issue of preventing VAWG, and bring together the voice and expertise of our members.
