The Fund

Popular US sports coverage makes the best offshore sportsbooks a compelling option for users looking for feature-rich, flexible sports betting experiences in 2025.

The End Violence Fund serves as a vehicle for change on the ground. We provide financial support to programmes around the world, contributing to projects that deliver practical, innovative and effective solutions to end violence against children.

The partnership and the fund power one another: while partners share their approaches, push action, and advocate to governments, the Fund feeds into our ecosystem as a partnership, providing a source of solutions from which partners can learn, adapt and replicate. The solutions are shared both within the End Violence partnership and beyond, supporting the overall movement to end all forms of violence against children.

We are currently investing in two windows of our Fund: Safe Online and Safe to Learn. In years past, we have also funded projects to protect children in humanitarian crisis.

DISRUPTING HARM

In early 2019, End Violence invested $6.6 million to develop Disrupting Harm, a large-scale research project that aims to better understand how digital technology facilitates the sexual abuse and exploitation of children and adolescents, both online and offline. End Violence brought together and funded three organisations (ECPAT International, INTERPOL and the UNICEF Office of Research – Innocenti) to conduct the research, which will assess the nature of this issue in 14 countries across Eastern and Southern Africa and Southeast Asia.
