  1. Prevention of violence against women and girls: what does the evidence say? FGFDDFFG Diana J. Arango Sr. Gender Based Violence and Development Specialist, The World Bank Group

  2. Aim: To present the most complete synthesis possible on what works to reduce and prevent violence against women and girls

  3. Systematic Review of Reviews – Methodology • Systematic review of systematic/comprehensive reviews • (published between Jan 2000 – Apr 2013) on the impacts of interventions • in reducing victimization/perpetration of VAWG • Additional search carried out of articles published from 2012 – present for effective interventions (a total of 27 studies with one or more positive results) • Types of VAWG included: intimate partner violence, non partner sexual assault, female genital mutilation, child marriage

  4. What works to reduce VAWG • Programs preventing violence: • Include women AND men • Engage entire community • Combine multiple approaches as part of a single intervention (group training, livelihoods, social communication) • Six months or longer • Address structural drivers of violence, such as social norms regarding acceptability of violence • Community based interventions that: • Engage many stakeholders at different levels (community men and women, police, teachers, leaders, etc.) • Use many strategies: public events, group training and advocacy campaigns • Have high quality communications materials such as posters, street theater, radio and television programs

  5. Recommendations for future VAWG research • More interventions addressing primary prevention of violence • Standardized methodology and indicators • Improved coordination and collaboration among key actors • More rigorous evidence on all types of VAWG from the global south, exploring issues of intervention cost, sustainability, and scalability • Documentation of the adaptation of promising VAWG interventions to other settings

  6. FGFDDFFG EVERY woman and girl has the right to live without violence.
