welcome to Project Alert On Violence Against Women.
Violence against women is perhaps the most shameful human rights violation, and it is perhaps the most pervasive. It knows no boundaries of geography, culture or wealth. As long as it continues, we cannot claim to be making real progress towards equality, development and peaceKofi Annan (Former UN Secretary General)

Our Recent Campaigns:
#BreaktheCycle
#TheBrokenChildren #BreaktheCycle campaign highlights the negative impact of domestic violence on children. Children learn from what they see and hear. Domestic violence affects children physically, mentally and emotionally. They mimic and document what they see and hear.
#StoptheBlame
#StoptheBlame is a media campaign project by Project Alert to sensitise members of the public on the negative impact of blaming and shaming victims of domestic and sexual violence. Blaming of victims decreases reporting rates and help seeking, which in turn leads to fatalities.

16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence
This is an international campaign that emerged from civil society. In 1991 the first Women’s Global Leadership Institute coordinated by the Centre for Women’s Global Leadership took place at Rutgers University in New Jersey. The institute ended with participants, agreeing to set aside 16 Days annually to focus on the issue of violence against women and girls. The 16 Days begins on November 25th which is International Day on Violence Against Women, and ends on December 10th, which is International Human Rights Day. It is the longest running campaign to end violence against women.
