Prevention of Violence Against Women and Girls argues that women and girls are vulnerable across all areas of society, and that therefore a commitment to end violence against women and girls needs to be embedded into all development programmes, regardless of sectorial focus.

This book presents an innovative framework for sensitisation and action across development programmes, based on emerging best practices and lessons learnt, and illustrated through a number of country contexts and a range of programmes. Overall, it argues that SDG 5 can only be achieved with a systematic model for mainstreaming an end to violence against women and girls, no matter what the priorities of the particular development programme might be. Demonstrating how the approach can be applied across contexts, the authors explore cases from the energy sector, health and humanitarian intervention, and from countries as varied as South Sudan, Myanmar, Rwanda, Nepal, and Kenya.

Drawing on nearly three decades of experience working on gender, health and violence against women programmes as both practitioners, and academics, the authors present key lessons which can be used by both students, researchers and practitioners alike.

Industry Reviews

"This is a ground-breaking book that challenges the VAWG prevention and response orthodoxy. Evidence from the online-surveys, field work and document reviews are used to build a VAWG Prevention and Response Framework that can be adapted and applied across sectors, in both development and humanitarian emergency contexts. Case studies from across the world provide detailed examples of what works, focusing too on what does not and the blinkered gender-blind approaches that are too often applied." -- Maureen Leah Chirwa, Health Systems Research and Management Specialist, founder of a woman established research firm, Prime Health Consulting and Services in Malawi
