GOLFERS’ PLEDGE TO END GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE AND FEMICIDE

As a member of Golf and Beyond, I recognize that violence against women and children is the manifestation of a profound lack of respect – a failure by us to recognize the inherent equality and dignity of women and children and that it is a violation of their fundamental human rights;

I acknowledge the adverse effects violence has on women and children.

I acknowledge the profound psychological and physical trauma violence has on women and children, their families and on communities.

I acknowledge the impact violence has on economic development, and reducing the quality of life for all.

I therefore commit to playing my part in ending Gender-Based Violence, by being a positive role model, a mentor and not allowing any form of violence to take place without doing something about it.

I commit to take action to see all girls, women, boys and men freed from the threat and impact of sexual violence across the world.   

I commit to ensuring safer communities for women. I commit to building a safer future for our children.

I commit to being part of the change as a Man.
