520			_aDiscourse on the importance of working with younger populations to address issues of gender inequity is quickly gaining ground around the world. This is driven by the recognition that challenging fundamental constructs of gender, namely masculinity and femininity, is critical to create shifts in norms – all of which set-in early through various socialization processes. Notions of gender roles, appropriate behaviors, and the resolution of conflict through the use of violence are all learned, and hence can be influenced. Primary prevention efforts are necessary as they offer the possibility of preventing the use of violence before it begins. They also provide alternatives of behaviors to children who have witnessed violence in their homes and other intimate surroundings. (from the Introduction) Background to this paper: In accordance with its multi-year programme of work for 2010-2014, the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) will consider ‘Elimination and prevention of all forms of violence against women and girls” as its priority theme during its fifty-seventh session in 2013. In order to contribute to a full understanding of the issue and to assist the Commission in its deliberations, United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), in collaboration with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and World Health Organization (WHO), convened an Expert Group Meeting on prevention of violence against women and girls, at Bangkok, Thailand, from 17 to 20 September 2012.
