Violence against women series in Lancet

Gail Kennedy 1/4/1511:14 AM

Hi and Happy 2015!

I attach here a series of articles published last month in The Lancet on Violence against women and girls. These articles are focused primarily on the needs of low and middle income countries but it is a great overview of the field and great reference for folks interested.
Articles cover the following topics:
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

Best wishes to all.

Gail Kennedy
