N2  - In this final Series paper, the fifth of five, is a call to action to eliminate violence against women and girls. Governments need to address the political, social, and economic structures that subordinate
women, and implement national plans and make budget commitments to invest in actions by multiple sectors to
prevent and respond to abuse. Emphasis on prevention is crucial. Community and group interventions involving
women and men can shift discriminatory social norms to reduce the risk of violence. Education and empowerment
of women are fundamental. Health workers should be trained to identify and support survivors and strategies to
address violence should be integrated into services for child health, maternal, sexual, and reproductive health,
mental health, HIV, and alcohol or substance abuse. Research to learn how to respond to violence must be
strengthened. (from the abstract)
