1. Primary Prevention: Changing Attitudes and Norms
Transforming Social and Gender Norms: Programs that engage entire communities, including men and boys, to challenge patriarchal attitudes, harmful masculinities, and stereotypes that condone violence.
Education:
Implementing comprehensive sexuality education and gender-sensitive curricula in schools that promote gender equality, respectful relationships, consent, and accountability from an early age.
Educating the public on what GBV is, its root causes, and available resources.
Empowering Women and Girls: Fostering the economic, political, and social empowerment of women and girls to increase their agency, decision-making power, and reduce economic dependence, which is often a factor in vulnerability.
Community Mobilization: Supporting grassroots and local women's rights organizations to lead initiatives that mobilize communities and create "safe" and "brave" spaces for discussion and action.

| The most effective approaches integrate these strategies, recognizing that GBV is a complex issue requiring long-term, sustained, and holistic action. |
