Join a network of prevention practitioners

There are some brilliant organisations and projects working to end Violence against Women and Girls in the UK but it can be difficult to know what is running in your local area. The projects linked to on this map are all doing work around violence against women and girls. We have also linked to some schools and colleges who are examples of best practice at undertaking this work.

You can use this interactive map to search for projects local to you, simply zoom in and find your area on the map. If a project has been added it will be indicated by a red marker. Hover over this and you will see details for the project. Click on the marker and it will take you straight to their website.

EVAW prevention network

The End Violence Against Women Coalition (EVAW) runs a fantastic prevention network that brings together experts in the prevention of Violence Against Women and Girls to campaign and lobby for a coordinated, targeted and long term approach to preventing VAWG (violence against women and girls). In particular, they are calling for schools and other educational institutions to play their part in creating a safer world for women and girls.

You can find out more and join the EVAW Coalition. Also read their excellent report on ‘A different world is possible: Ending Violence Against Women.‘ This report sets out why we need a targeted and long term approach to preventing VAWG drawing on the most cutting-edge evidence-base on the causal factors underlying violence and abuse. We make policy recommendations under ten areas of action for Westminster government departments, statutory bodies, schools and other educational institutions and local authorities, providing a preliminary blueprint for decision-makers and an advocacy tool for the third sector. The report has been developed with expert practitioners, researchers and policy analysts on the EVAW Prevention Network, England. The report is complemented with ‘A Different World is Possible: Promising practices to prevent violence against women and girls’, a piece of research that explores examples of interventions to prevent violence through education, community mobilisation and capacity building, media and public awareness.
