Violence is an issue that directly affects most people in Timor-Leste and indirectly impacts on all of us. Research shows that 59 percent of ever-partnered Timorese women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence from their husband or boyfriend. While women are most at risk of violence from their male partners, 14 percent of women have been raped by a man who was not their husband or boyfriend. Furthermore, around 75 percent of Timorese women and men were physically and/or sexually abused during childhood and this is closely associated with both experiencing and using violence in adulthood. In order for Timor-Leste to advance as a healthy, democratic and thriving nation, we must all take action in our own lives to end violence against women and children.
