Poster used in the WHO awareness-raising Global Campaign for Violence Prevention

Poster text reads: "Violence by intimate partners occurs in all countries and cultures, although some populations are at greater risk than others. The overwhelming burden of partner violence is borne by women at the hands of men. Studies show that 40-70% of female murder victims are killed by their husbands or boyfriends, frequently in the context of an ongoing abusive relationship. In some countries as many as 69% of women report being physically assaulted by an intimate male partner at some point in their lives."
