This Guide was created by UN Women and the Prevention Collaborative, with support from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). It is a practical resource developed to support programme managers, practitioners, specialists, and partners in making informed, real-world decisions when planning, designing, implementing, and evaluating violence against women (VAW) prevention initiatives.
The guide offers a clear and accessible framework, with tools, tips, and examples to navigate each step of effective programming to prevent VAW.
It also offers key resources on VAW Prevention Programming, including:
- evidence (data and information to support programme design)
- checklists (guide questions for staff at different stages)
- talking points (to help make your case and justify your proposals)
- tools (practical exercises you can use for analysis)
- decision-making guides (sequences of questions and steps to support decisions)
- links (web-based links to more resources to support programming)
