How to prevent gender-based violence
Gender-based and domestic violence can be prevented. Prevention is about changing attitudes, gender roles and stereotypes that make violence against women acceptable, and raising awareness of different types of violence. Preventive actions should be taken within the education system, among professionals working with victims and in cooperation with NGOs, the media and the private sector in order to reach out to the public. On this page, you will find a presentation of different EEA and Norway Grants projects on preventing gender-based and domestic violence.
