The UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UN
Trust Fund) is a testimony to the global consciousness that violence
against women and girls is neither inevitable nor acceptable. The UN
Trust Fund is a leading global grant-making mechanism exclusively
dedicated to addressing violence against women and girls in all its
forms. It supports effective initiatives that demonstrate that violence
against women and girls can be systematically addressed, reduced and,
with persistence, eliminated. To date, the UN Trust Fund has delivered
more than USD 86 million to 351 initiatives in 128 countries and territories. Established by UN General Assembly resolution 50/166 in 1996 and administered by UN Women on behalf of the UN system, the UN Trust Fund works with non-governmental organizations, governments and UN country teams to:
Prevent violence against women and girls by empowering groups especially at risk of violence, including adolescent girls and indigenous or ethnic minority women, and engaging strategic groups such as youth, men and boys, and traditional and faith-based leaders in prevention efforts;
Expand the access of women and girl survivors of violence to services including legal assistance, psychosocial counseling, health care, and building the capacity of service providers to respond effectively to the needs of women and girls affected by violence;
Strengthen the implementation of laws, policies and action plans on violence against women and girls through data collection and analysis, building capacities of service providers and strengthening institutions to become more effective, transparent and accountable in addressing violence against women.
