The “Violence against Women 365 International Poster Exhibition” is a public awareness and educational tool designed to highlight the global issue of violence against women and children. While it focuses primarily on the issues of Domestic Violence, Rape and Sexual Assault, it also includes related issues such as Dating Violence, Date Rape, Drug Facilitated Sexual Assault, Prostitution, Trafficking, Elder Abuse, Child Abuse and the practice of Female Genital Mutilation. The exhibition is also designed for use as a medium to fully promote local support agencies already working on the issue of violence against women & children.

The concept behind the exhibition is simply:- there are 365 days in the year but during every day of the year, every hour in the day, every minute of the hour and every second of the minute, somewhere in this world, women – irrespective of race, colour or religion – are being subjected to violence, abuse, neglect or rape. This also includes the most vulnerable members of society – our Children!!

The aim is through the use of posters from around the world representative of each day of the year, the power and impact of each poster allows the message to get across that all forms of violence against women is totally unacceptable. The format of the exhibition focuses on the issues through specific categories such as:-
* The Extent of the problem;
* Gender Roles;
* Campaigns aimed at Men;
* Safety versus Blame;
* Campaigns aimed at Women;
* Effects on Children;
* Shock Value;
* Communities Responding.

To date, the exhibition has taken place in 11 countries since it first went on display in 2004.

The exhibition is not a campaign citing that men are the only perpetrators of domestic violence. The exhibition has always acknowledged that men are also victims of interpersonal violence.

The message is very simple:
No-one deserves to be abused and that is irrespective of gender.
