It is estimated that 35 per cent of women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or sexual violence by a non-partner (not including sexual harassment) at some point in their lives. However, some national studies show that up to 70 per cent of women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence from an intimate partner in their lifetime. Evidence shows that women who have experienced physical or sexual intimate partner violence report higher rates of depression, having an abortion and acquiring HIV, compared to women who have not.

PROJECTS
1
I WONT LET YOU DIE
This project was born in 2011 when one of our co-founders and board members attended a meeting with a pharmaceutical company who had eradicated Malaria from the Comoros Island in 2007. Since then, the foundation got involved in understanding the need and urgency to eradicate this preventable disease.
In 2019, the Women and Children Embassy Foundation was admitted as a member in the International organization RollBack Malaria (RBM) www.endmalaria.org
Women and Children Embassy donated its domain name www.zeromalaria.org to RBM for free so RBM could launch a worldwide campaign with the domain.

NEVER STOP
The writing of the book Never Stop is an initiative of the foundation’s President Arlette Nkurayija. The book aspires not only to be her personal story, but mostly to be a tool to give the power back to any victim, teach them how to forgive and grow. Her story is already being scripted for a movie production. Once completed, Arlette also intends to become a public speaker and help others to move forward and Never Stop.
