This technical package represents a select group of strategies based on the best available evidence to help

communities and states sharpen their focus on prevention activities with the greatest potential to reduce sexual

violence (SV) and its consequences. These strategies focus on promoting social norms that protect against violence;

teaching skills to prevent SV; providing opportunities, both economic and social, to empower and support girls

and women; creating protective environments; and supporting victims/survivors to lessen harms. The strategies

represented in this package include those with a focus on preventing SV from happening in the first place as well as

approaches to lessen the immediate and long-term harms of SV. Though the evidence for SV is still developing and

more research is needed, the problem of SV is too large and costly and has too many urgent consequences to wait

for perfect answers. There is a compelling need for prevention now and to learn from the efforts that are undertaken.

Commitment, cooperation, and leadership from numerous sectors, including public health, education, justice, health

care, social services, business/labor, and government can bring about the successful implementation of this package.

This technical package represents a select group of strategies based on the best available evidence to help prevent

child abuse and neglect. These strategies include strengthening economic supports to families; changing social norms

to support parents and positive parenting; providing quality care and education early in life; enhancing parenting

skills to promote healthy child development; and intervening to lessen harms and prevent future risk. The strategies

represented in this package include those with a focus on preventing child abuse and neglect from happening in

the first place as well as approaches to lessen the immediate and long-term harms of child abuse and neglect. These

strategies range from a focus on individuals, families, and relationships to broader community and societal change.

This range of strategies is needed to better address the interplay between individual-family behavior and broader

neighborhood, community, and cultural contexts.
