The Ripple Effect

Sharing promising practices, innovations and evidence on ending violence against women and girls in Southeast Asia

With the generous support by the Australian Government, In June 2013, UN Women started a three-year long regional programme, “Leveraging Technical Tools, Evidence and Community Engagement to Advance the Implementation of Laws and Provision of Services to Women Experiencing Violence in South-East Asia” to help women who experienced violence to have proper access to services and laws and receive support from both the governments and communities. The Ripple Effect highlights interesting facts about women experiencing violence in Southeast Asia as well as remarkable results achieved by the programme in four Southeast Asian countries – Indonesia, Lao PDR, Viet Nam and Lao PDR.
