Safer Sooner: Toward a Global Binding Norm to End Violence Against Women and Girls

On February 20, 2020, the Every Woman Institute released its first-ever Safer Sooner Report. The Safer Sooner Report identifies gaps under current international systems in addressing and preventing violence against women and girls, and maps out a path to a world where every woman can claim her right to live free from violence.

This report reflects over six years of research and dialogue with 1,700 leaders and 843 organizations from 128 countries. These experts, organizations, and community leaders all came to the consensus that the Every Woman Treaty, a stand alone treaty to end, and prevent, violence against women and girls, is the best next step.
