00:02.000 --> 00:07.000
An estimated 1 in 3 women worldwide have experienced violence.

00:08.000 --> 00:13.000
That’s 736 million women.

00:14.000 --> 00:18.000
Violence against women is any act of violence that results in physical,

00:18.000 --> 00:23.000
sexual, psychological, or economic harm or suffering.

00:24.000 --> 00:29.000
It can happen anywhere—in the home, the workplace, in the street

00:29.000 --> 00:32.000
—and it can also happen online.

00:33.000 --> 00:37.000
Violence against women is not just physical. It includes:

00:37.000 --> 00:42.000
sexual harassment, stalking, coercive control, and

00:42.000 --> 00:47.000
behaviors like catcalling, unwanted comments, or inappropriate jokes.

00:48.000 --> 00:51.000
Any woman can be affected by this violence

00:51.000 --> 00:55.000
regardless of where they live, or socio-economic status.

00:56.000 --> 01:01.000
It can affect women of any race, ethnicity, sexual orientation,

01:01.000 --> 01:05.500
gender identity, age, or ability.

01:06.000 --> 01:10.500
But less than 40% of the women who experience violence seek help.

01:11.000 --> 01:15.000
Inequality is at the core of the problem.

01:16.000 --> 01:20.000
Enabling gender equality must be at the core of the solution.

01:21.000 --> 01:25.500
The United Nations’ ”16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence”

01:26.000 --> 01:29.500
is a call to action to combat violence against women at home, 

01:29.600 --> 01:32.000
at work, and in society.

01:34.000 --> 01:38.000
Deloitte stands against violence against women.

01:39.000 --> 01:41.000
Take a stand with us.

01:42.000 --> 01:46.000
Here are four simple things you can commit to today:

01:47.000 --> 01:50.000
1. Get informed about gender-based violence

01:51.000 --> 01:55.000
2. Speak up when you see behaviors or actions that are not OK

01:56.000 --> 02:00.000
3. Understand the help that is available at work

02:01.000 --> 02:04.000
4. Commit to furthering women’s equality through your actions

02:04.000 --> 02:06.000
at work and in your community

02:07.000 --> 02:12.000
Show your support by wearing orange during the 16 days

02:13.000 --> 02:17.000
and join the conversation on social media.
