A literature review of 98 global programs, inclusive of high-, medium- and low-income demographics, assessed their effectiveness in reducing the prevalence of gender-violence. Findings highlighted the following key strategies:

• Communications and social marketing;

• Policy, legislative and institutional reform;

• Community mobilisation;

• Organisational development;

• Collective advocacy, and;

• Individual or group participation (i.e. school curriculums).

• Preventions have been shown to be more effective when combining a multi-component approach of the above.
