Combatting Violence Against Women

Strategic Objective: Support national and community-led mechanisms that address violence against women moving forward CEDAW’s general recommendation No. 35 on gender-based violence against women, updating general recommendation No. 19.

Club de Madrid is committed to supporting national and community-led mechanisms to eradicate violence against women. We work with governments and civil society to strengthen legal frameworks and implement comprehensive strategies that address both sexual and political violence. We develop targeted initiatives in countries such as Cabo Verde, Ethiopia, Mexico, and Morocco, in partnership with organizations like UN Women and AECID. With this,  we aim to ensure safe, inclusive societies where women can fully exercise their rights.
