The Lancet, 2015, 385(9977): 1580–1589Summary: In this Series paper, the third of five, the authors discuss why the engagement of all men and boys in action to prevent violence against women and girls is theoretically important and how prevention interventions have developed from treating men simply as perpetrators of violence against women and girls or as allies of women in its prevention, to approaches that seek to transform the relations, social norms, and systems that sustain gender inequality and violence.The authors review evidence of intervention effectiveness in the reduction of violence or its risk factors, features commonly seen in more effective interventions, and how strong evidence-based interventions can be developed with more robust use of theory.
