A non-profit missions organization is drawing attention to the fact that violence against women comes in different forms. Gospel for Asia is speaking out for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Vice President Danny Yohannan tells OneNewsNow up to 100 million women are missing or abused, mistreated in several ways, and/or downtrodden because they are female.

Gospel for Asia is concerned about more than just physical abuse. Yohannan explains that women and girls are not always educated. And when the family eats, females are often fed less in favor of males, who are educated and work to meet family needs.
