The field of violence prevention is still in a period of innovation, learning and refinement. Five years ago only a handful of interventions to prevent VAWG, implemented and evaluated in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), were shown to have impact in reducing violence (Fulu and Kerr-Wilson, 2015, Ellsberg et al., 2015). Over the last few years, there has been increasing investment in broadening the evidence base on what works to prevent violence. A major initiative in this space has been the UKAID-funded, What Works to Prevent Violence Against Women and Girls.
