Hard knock life
Violence against women - a guide for donors
Published by: New Philanthropy Capital (April 2008)

This guide for donors argues that violence against women has such farreaching consequences that tackling it may also help to reduce mental health problems, homelessness, substance abuse, prostitution and child abuse. By supporting charities in this field, donors can make women and their children safe from abuse, help them to rebuild their lives and hold perpetrators to account.
