Lancet Series 2014: Violence Against Women and Girls
2014
This Lancet Series shows that violence against women and girls is preventable. Abuse takes many forms, including intimate physical and sexual partner violence, female genital mutilation, child and forced marriage, sex trafficking, and rape. Five papers cover the evidence base for interventions, discuss the vital role of the health sector in care and prevention, show the need for men and women to be involved in effective programs, provide practical lessons from experience in countries, and present a call for action with five key recommendations and indicators to track progress.
Series papers include:
- Prevention of Violence Against Women and Girls: What Does the Evidence Say?
- The Health-Systems Response to Violence Against Women
- From Work With Men and Boys to Changes of Social Norms and Reduction of Inequities in Gender Relations: A Conceptual Shift in Prevention of Violence Against Women and Girls
- Prevention of Violence Against Women and Girls: Lessons from Practice
- Addressing Violence Against Women: A Call to Action
