A recent report by the World Health Organization (WHO) reveals a disturbing trend: young women are increasingly becoming victims of violence by their partners. The report highlights that nearly one in three women globally experience physical or sexual violence, with younger women particularly at risk. This alarming rise in intimate partner violence calls for urgent action and effective measures to protect victims and prevent further abuse.
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, emphasized the importance of comprehensive strategies to address this issue, including stronger legal frameworks, education, and support services for survivors.
