VAWG & Cultural Harmful Practices

Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) is the umbrella term used to describe a range of violent and abusive acts and behaviours, which are predominantly, but not exclusively, directed against women and girls.

This term is used to describe abuse against all genders but highlights the disproportionate impact on women and girls.

Use our guides to find out more about VAWG and how to get involved with Ayda Community.
