This October, put your fitness to the test and take part in The 137 Challenge. Complete 137 sit-ups, squats, or step-ups per day for one month and fundraise to help end violence against women and girls.

Why 137?

One in three women will experience some form of violence in their lifetime, and 137 women are killed per day by a partner or family member.

How your support can help

Across the world, women and girls are fighting to claim their rights and change the systems and beliefs that make violence acceptable. ActionAid is working with communities to prevent and respond to violence and create long-term change. Your support could help survivors seek justice and fund women's groups who train parents, teachers, local police and legal advisors to recognise the signs of violence and report it.

£20 could produce booklets on laws and policies protecting women against abuse.

£67 could provide meals for a month for a girl who's escaped violence and is living in temporary safe space.

£224 could pay a lawyers salary for a month so survivors can access support as they pursue justice.
