At Stand up for Women Society (SWS), we lawfully stand against, discourage and stop domestic violence. Domestic violence, rape and other forms of sexual violence, female genital mutilation, early and forced marriage, economic control, coercion and emotional abuse which always happens to women should be eradicated from a modern society like today.
