UN launches campaign to eliminate violence against women
New York (PTI): UN Goodwill Ambassador and actor Nicole Kidman has launched an Internet campaign aimed at eliminating violence against women, and urged people to join the fight in trying to stop the "appalling human rights violation".
"One in three women may suffer from abuse and violence in her lifetime. This is an appalling human rights violation, yet it remains one of the invisible and under-recognised pandemics of our time," Kidman, the goodwill ambassador to United Nations Development Fund for Womemn (UNIFEM) said in a statement.
Despite the pervasiveness of the issue, it is not inevitable. We can put a stop to this, she said.
