Raising Voices. (2017). Learning from Practice Series, No. 7: Research Perspectives – Potential pathways to prevention: Understanding the intersections of violence against women and children in the family. Kampala, Uganda: Raising Voices. 

Abstract

Raising Voices is a feminist organization that has been working to prevent both VAW and VAC for over a decade. While we understand all violence as an abuse of power (at individual and structural levels) and strive for a cohesive approach, for the most part our VAW and VAC prevention programs have evolved independently. However, now more than ever, we are recognizing the many overlaps between VAW and VAC and are experiencing the need to explore integrated prevention programming more explicitly.
