Violence against women is the most pervasive yet least recognized human rights violation in the
world. It also is a profound health problem, sapping women’s energy, compromising their
physical health, and eroding their self-esteem. In addition to causing injury, violence increases
women’s long-term risk of a number of other health problems, including chronic pain, physical
disability, drug and alcohol abuse and depression. Women with a history of physical or sexual
abuse are also at increased risk for unintended pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections
(STIs), and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
