This review focuses specifically onIntimate partner violence(IPV) against women, as opposedto Violence against women and girls (VAWG) more broadly, forseveral reasons. Partner violence is the most prevalent formof violence against women globally: a woman is at thegreatest risk for suffering violence in her own home bysomeone she knows. A recent systematic review found thatmost of effective evaluations and programs on VAWG have beendirected to IPV. This paper emphasizes results of these andother primary prevention programs, not because secondary andtertiary prevention programs are ineffective, but becauseprimary prevention programs allow for macro-levelprogramming that targets root causes of violence, such asharmful gender norms, to create generations of men, women,boys, and girls who not only no longer accept violence, butalso feel empowered to eliminate it. To conclude, thismethodological annex outlines the steps involved in adaptingto new settings a community-based intervention to preventintimate partner violence. While the precise nature of thesesteps will vary depending on the setting in which they areapplied, the core ethical and effectiveness considerationshere should remain true regardless of location. The authorshope that this note will help programmers worldwide tosuccessfully transform community norms and prevent intimatepartner violence.
