24 Hour Domestic Violence Help-line

A Joint Report by UNAIDS / UNFPA / UNIFEM. Globally, there are now 17 million women and 18.7 million men between the ages of 15 and 49 living with HIV/AIDS. Sub-Saharan Africa is the most devastated: 77 per cent of all HIV-positive women live in this region. This report identifies the zero tolerance of gender violence as being an important move. Gender-based violence is now one of the leading factors in the increased rates of HIV infection among women.

Report by Unicef and Bodyshop published in June 2006 on the impact of domestic violence on children across the world.
