On this International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, the ATI joins the call to end violence against women and girls around the world. #ViolenceAgainstWomen
Violence against women and girls is a human rights violation that’s been perpetuated for decades. It’s pervasive, but it’s not inevitable, unless we stay silent. Speak out, #OrangeTheWorld & break the cycle of abuse during #16Days of Activism!
