Background
Violence against women and girls is one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations in our world today. The Spotlight Initiative (SI) is a global whole of  United Nations effort to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls by 2030. Launched in 2017, the Initiative invests in gender equality and women’s rights as a precondition and driver for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Initiative follows a human rights-based approach and takes into consideration the specific needs of women and girls who experience multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination, upholding the principle of “leaving no one behind”.
