N2  - Over the past two decades there has been an emerging international consensus that locally coordinated efforts are effective in addressing violence and insecurity. Promoting “women’s safety” has become a recognized international planning and governance strategy. There are,
however, concerns about how the “women’s safety” approach can address intimate partner violence, incorporate diversity between women from different cultures, and integrate a gender
mainstreaming approach to male on male violence. Finally, there are challenges in evaluating these initiatives. The paper will use the Gender, Local Governance, and Violence Prevention
(GLOVE) research project in Victoria, Australia as a case study to examine these tensions. Abstract
