World Cup 2006 in Germany - Amnesty International's Campaign on Violence Against Women

Amnesty International, as part of its worldwide campaign on the issue of violence against women, is taking advantage of the World Cup this month to draw attention to the situation in the participating countries.

"As the World Cup gets underway, no red cards are being handed out for the many women and girls being stalked, raped, sexually abused and harassed, trafficked for sexual exploitation, beaten or killed."
