Parent and caregiver support programmes are well‑placed to reduce violence against children and violence against women. There is growing interest in adapting or strengthening parenting programmes to address both types of violence, given their shared risk factors, common co‑occurrence, and similar consequences for children’s and women’s physical and mental health and psychosocial well‑being, as well as for child development. Programmes that have successfully reduced both types of violence often take a gender‑transformative
approach — working with women and men to challenge unequal gender norms and power dynamics and to build relationships and parenting skills th at support more equitable, caring, and nonviolent families.1,2 This brief is the fourth in a series designed to support parenting practitioners in integrating gender equality and violence prevention into existing parenting programmes. The brief aims to support parenting practitioners in effectively monitoring and
evaluating their programmes after going through the process of integrating gender and violence prevention. It focuses primarily on aspects of monitoring and evaluation specific to gender and violence, aspects of programming that may be newer to parenting practitioners — however, it is not a comprehensive guide on how to monitor and evaluate parenting programmes..
