WHAT’S NEW?

Women on the Front Line - our new series on gender-based violence on BBC World

It threatens the lives of more young women than cancer, malaria or war. It affects one in three women worldwide. It leaves women mentally scarred for life. It is usually inflicted by a family member. “It” is violence against women and girls. And according to the UN, this brutality – gender violence - is on the rise.

This 7-part series, presented by Annie Lennox, takes the front to the homes, villages, and cities of our world where a largely unreported war against females is being waged.
