The health-systems response to violence against women Violence against women and girls 2 Claudia García-Moreno, Kelsey Hegarty, Ana Flavia Lucas d’Oliveira, Jane Koziol-MacLain, Manuela Colombini, Gene Feder - The Lancet, 2015 - The Lancet .
The Lancet, 2015, 385(9977): 1567–1579 Recommended reading
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.
