"Today 89 countries now have laws tyo adress violwence against woman. Now we must take this struggle to the next stage, institutionalize the strategic, practical actions that can bringabout change, and incorporate them into national development planning, security sector reform, and state accountibility mechanisms.

"Violence against woman is an issue that cannot wait. A brief look at the statistics demonstrates the urgency with which we have to act. Already back in 1993, a World Bank study estimated that gender-based violence killed and caused ill health in as many women of reproductive age as cancer did, and was even greater threat to their health than traffic accidents and malaria combined."

STORYLINE
Today UNIFEM Goodwill Ambassador Nicole Kidman joined UNIFEM Executive Director Noeleen Heyzer and leading UN officials, including newly appointed UN Deputy Secretary-General Asha-Rose Migiro, in calling for more resources and concerted actions to build on the results of a decade of work by the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women.
"We all know in our heads and our hearts that every woman is entitled to a life free of violence. Let's make that a reality. Let's end violence against women," Kidman said at an event commemorating the 10th anniversary of the UN Trust Fund. She made a passionate call for everyone to get involved in ending violence against women.
Established by the UN General Assembly and managed by UNIFEM, the Trust Fund has given grants amounting to some $13 million to 226 initiatives in 100 countries. Globally, there has been growing recognition that violence against women is a pervasive violation of women's rights. It affects all societies, extracting a crushingly high cost from individuals and in terms of lost opportunities for social and economic development.
