Day 1 session 2: Global and regional evidence base on what works to prevent violence against women
1. Session 2: Global and regional evidence base on what
works to prevent violence against women
WORKSHOP On Second Five Years of National Action Plan on Prevention and
Combatting of Violence against Women (2021 – 2025)
Vientiane, Lao PDR
18-19 Dec 2019
2. Violence against women prevention
• Violence against women
is not inevitable.
• Evidence and successful
prevention projects,
show that violence
against women can be
prevented.
3. What is primary prevention?
• Actions and interventions to stop violence before it starts
by addressing the different factors associated with it.
• Primary prevention is about enhancement of protective
factors and reduction and mitigation of risk factors
• Actions may enhance factors that promote safety, gender
equality, non-violence and peace, and/or influence factors
that contribute to violence such as impunity and inequality.

9. • Unifying ‘road map’ to maximize the
success of combined efforts of coordinated
and well-targeted approaches to
prevention.
• Shared understanding regarding the factors
contributing to and protecting against VAW,
and the role different sectors and
disciplines can play to prevent this violence.
• Benchmark current evidence and
knowledge to provide a base on which to
continue to build.

Violence against Women Prevention

11. Foundations for Prevention:
• State’s commitment to gender equality, accountability for violence
and prevention.
• Awareness of VAW as a human rights violation and of the extent,
consequences and causes of VAW
• Adequate resources (budgets, human resources and capacity
strengthening to address VAW).
• Tools, knowledge and skills to support prevention.
• Multi-sectoral planning and coordination mechanisms
• Strong leadership by government, and increased funding and
support to civil society

12. Evidence review: Effective/promising programming
12
Microfinance combined with gender transformative interventions
Relationship-level interventions grounded in gender theory that
engage in both single-sex and mixed-sex discussion groups
Group education with community outreach including engaging
men and boys
Community mobilisation focusing on changing social norms
Whole school interventions
Parenting programmes
13. Evidence review: Ineffective/conflicting evidence
programming
13
WASH interventions in schools
Single component communication
campaigns (e.g., awareness raising)
Once off workshops not grounded
in gender transformative
approaches
School curriculum-based
interventions
Bystander interventions
15. Prevention: Not just working with men,
but transformation of social norms
15
Use gender transformative curricula,
which promote a critical reflection about
masculinities
Include participation of girls and women
Provide opportunities for modeling and
reinforcing positive gender roles and
relations
Have frequent and sustained activities
Address risk factors for violence
Work across different levels of the
ecological model
16.
17. • Prevention actions often help women
realize the violence in their own lives,
and they will in turn ask for help and
safety
• We must ensure that sites chosen for
prevention interventions have services
available for survivors - and that
women who need help know where to
turn
Prevention and response go hand in hand
18. • Critical to integrate response support
services for survivors of VAWG, or
referrals to services, within
prevention programmes.
• Talking about violence against
women prompts survivors to seek
help, and services need to be
available to respond to their needs.
Linking essential services
and prevention
Notas do Editor
Primary prevention – approaches that aim to prevent violence before it occurs/even begins; Directed at entire population, without knowing their abuse status; primary prevention interventions address the underlying causal factors or drivers of SIPV
Secondary prevention – approaches that focus on the more immediate responses to violence; Reducing repeat violence among those previously victimised; Directed at those known to have been victims or perpetrators of abuse in order to prevent future violence
Tertiary prevention – approaches that focus on long-term care in the wake of violence; Addressing needs of survivors;
Reforming institutional responses
RESPONSES
Addressing needs of victims
Improving response of institutions
Holding perpetrators accountable
“Risk” and “protective” factors– are embedded in policy, social norms, institutional structures, dynamics of social relations, individual attitudes and behaviors.
“[The] public health approach to violence prevention seeks to improve the health and safety of all individuals by addressing underlying risk factors that increase the likelihood that an individual will become a victim or a perpetrator of violence.” (WHO)

THIS IS FROM A WORKSHOP WE HAD IN FEB 2015 to DESIGN OUR SCHOOL BASED WORK
WHERE IT ALL STARTS:
THE CAUSES OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN (GLOBAL)
Unequal distribution of power
Support for inequality
Behaviour and attitudes that support violence
Culture that supports and uses violence as a means to settle disputes
Cultural approval/acceptance of violence against women
Support for privacy of family over safety and wellbeing

This visual shows two sides of the coin in terms of men performance of masculinities, and the relationship to men’ use of violence
Reviews of intervention evaluations and lessons from practice have found core principles for effective VAWG prevention programming. Prevention actions must occur across all spheres of the socioecological model (e.g., individual, interpersonal, community, and societal) engaging with entire communities to address manifestations of the causal and risk factors that will drive sustained social norm change. Overall, multi-component interventions that engage with multiple stakeholders are more effective than single-component interventions, and a gender transformative approach is essential within all programming types. Further, programmes that engage men only or women only are less effective than those that engage both men and women.
The evidence also reveals that face-to-face, participatory engagement is necessary to achieve transformation. Programmes and interventions must address an intersectional gender and power analysis in accessible and meaningful ways grounded in feminist principles that make achievement of gender equality a key focus. Programming should be driven by sound theory of change models built from the existing evidence-base. Multisector interventions are necessary to reach across the socioecological model and this will require sustained investment and partnerships across sectors with a long-term commitment. Programming should be empowering and aspirational to promote personal and collective critical reflection and activism that will drive personal and collective transformation.

To tackle the Causes of Ending VAW Research tells us we need:
A coordinated approach to developing, funding and implementing programs for ending violence
Well funded and resourced justice responses
Well funded and resourced early intervention and prevention
Community action on, and support for, ending violence against women (Lancet 2014)
Prevention Policy Framework
When we think about laws and public policy that are geared toward the prevention of violence against women – we need to think more broadly than just specific laws that focus on violence – a lot more than criminalization, protection and response laws
Laws on against use of violence and for protection of women - for example Domestic Violence laws and acts and CEDAW
Rights and Empowerment – Laws to Protect Women’s Rights Inheritance laws, policies to promote women’s political and economic advancement
Norms and Values – Media campaigns, Education policies, labour policies to promote more positive roles both for women and men
Part of this diagram is recognizing your role – how you and your organization are best placed to advocate for certain policies
International evidence has been consolidated in the UN Framework to Underpin Action to Prevention Violence Against Women to inform policies and programming planning on primary prevention of VAWG. This Framework displays the complexity of underlying causal and risk factors driving VAWG. The social norms, practices, and structures of gender inequality and violence acceptance perpetuate VAWG. Further, the intergenerational cycle of VAWG that creates a self-sustaining system of ongoing violence throughout the lifespan has been well established. Programmes and interventions must address these issues in order to prevention VAWG. http://www.unwomen.org/en/digital-library/publications/2015/11/prevention-framework

Survivors can be triggered by prevention initiatives, or realized that they have been experiencing violence and need access to essential services such as health, social services, police and justice.
