How many times have you heard about domestic violence? How many women have been killed since the beginning of the year? How many more will have to die? Gender-based violence or violence against women and girls, is a global pandemic that affects 1 in 3 women in their lifetime.

Reading and talking about these issues openly will help end the shame and stigma that domestic violence and sexual assault survivors are burdened with. The next time you’re in a room with 6 people, think about this:

•  1 in 4 women experience violence from their partners in their lifetimes.
•  1 in 3 teens experience sexual or physical abuse or threats from a boyfriend or girlfriend in one year.
•  1 in 5 women are survivors of rape.
•  1 in 3 women have experienced sexual violence in their lives.
•  1 in 4 women were sexually abused before the age of 18.

The EOI Ribadeo and O Soto do Óptico utterly reject any kind of violence whatsoever and strongly believe in the power that education has to eradicate it. Every woman has the right to live free and feel safe but above all, we have the right to LIVE !!!
