Globally, millions of people are injured as a result of violence and nearly half a million die as a result of murder. Being exposed to violence beyond physical injuries causes mental problems; smoking, alcohol, substance use. It can also lead to chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

In particular, some groups, including women, the elderly, children and youth, and ethnic and sexual minorities, are at greater risk of violence. Violence against women is particularly common, with 1 out of every 3 women reporting that they have been subjected to sexual and/or physical violence. The source of this violence is often a close partner. Moreover, women are also exposed to violence through human trafficking. Children are also at risk of physical violence by caregivers or peers, emotional violence such as bullying, and various forms of violence such as sexual violence.

Violence against young people can take place in various forms, such as bullying at school, physical fights, serious physical/sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking.

Campaigns to prevent and end violence and to prevent sales of guns are very important to ensure that people can lead a safe and healthy life.

You can get support if you are experiencing or at risk of physical, psychological or sexual violence. You can access counseling, psychological support, safe accommodation, legal support, removal/protection, education and employment support from various institutions.
