Action Aid, a charity group based across the Globe, released an important new report pointing the stalling effect violence against women has on a countries development.

Although violence against women affects countries that are both rich and poor, and women of different backgrounds, authors of the Action Aid report say violence blocks progress in every major development target. This violence ranges from intimate partner violence in couples to sexual violence in the classroom.

Women's eNews Uganda beat reporter Rebecca Harshbarger took a closer look at the report and found out what it had to say.
