About this issue:
In many parts of the world, poverty and discrimination affect women’s ability to access education and exercise control over their own bodies. As a result, women and girls all over the globe are at risk of violence, forced marriage, genital mutilation, unsafe abortions and human trafficking.
Thanks to the support of people like you, Amnesty International is campaigning to expose government neglect and stand up to the discrimination that denies women and girls the basic right to have control over their own bodies. This candle is a symbol of the positive change that we can achieve together.
Together, we can light the way for change.
