Preventing violence before it occurs

Preventing violence before it occurs While there are minor differences in the specific factors identified in ecological models proposed by various experts to understand violence against women, many identify the unequal distribution of power and resources between men and women and adherence to rigidly defined gender roles as significant underlying factors in the perpetration of this problem.

Themes for action Supporting equal and respectful relationships between men and women Supporting non-violent social norms and mediating the effects of prior exposure to violence Improving access to resources and systems of support

Settings for Action Local Government Sports Workplaces Schools Community Health Local Government 8

Preventing violence before it occurs Primary prevention efforts are most likely to be effective when a coordinated range of mutually reinforcing strategies is targetted across these levels of influence. Many of the factors influencing violence cross boundaries traditionally existing between government departments, disciplines and settings.
