Strengthening local work around violence against women
Establishing a clear link between local and international work to end violence against women
Providing a forum in which organisers can develop and share effective strategies
Demonstrating the solidarity of women around the world organising against violence against women
Creating tools to pressure governments to implement promises made to eliminate violence against women
