Violence against women is perhaps one of humanity’s oldest and least punished crimes.
Through @CommonwealthSec's new Strategic Plan, we are placing gender at the heart of all we do. No woman is safe until all women are safe.

"No woman is safe until all women are safe. And that safety begins where fear ends - in our homes, neighbourhoods, communities and countries."
