  • Violence against women and girls 2
Subject(s): Online resources: In: The Lancet, 2015, 385(9977): 1567–1579Summary: In this Series paper, the second of five, the authors review the evidence for clinical interventions and discuss components of a comprehensive health-system approach that helps health-care providers to identify and support women subjected to intimate partner or sexual violence. Five country case studies (from South Africa, Brazil, Spain, India and Lebanon) show the diversity of contexts and pathways for development of a health system response to violence against women. Although additional research is needed, strengthening of health systems can enable providers to address violence against women, including protocols, capacity building, effective coordination between agencies, and referral networks.
