Ending Violence Against Women and Girls Media Awards
EVAW’s Media Awards aim to recognise exemplary reporting on violence against women and girls in print, broadcast and online news, features, comment and documentaries – reporting which explains how and why abuse happens, is respectful of victims and survivors, and which has an impact on public debate.

Specialist support services are essential for helping women and girls flee violence and rebuild their lives. Access to such services is a right for women and girls in the UK when suffering domestic violence or rape, when at risk of forced marriage or FGM, when trafficked or subject to abuse related to prostitution, and all other forms of gender based violence.
