FACETS OF PREVENTION

"The prevention of violence against women and girls is a process of changing attitudes, behaviors, beliefs, and institutional norms of 'acceptable' violence and discrimination, through an evolutionary and revolutionary process within an inherited system of inequality detrimental to society. This nonlinear process of transformative education supports the creation of a safe, just, equitable and healthy environment, so that women and girls and men and boys may live violence-free lives."
