520			_aThis paper, a systematic review of reviews, breaks new ground by synthesizing evidence on the effects of VAWG prevention interventions. It examines the diversity of geographical context, the types of violence addressed, and the numerous approaches that have been used to combat VAWG. Additionally the review summarizes the quality of evidence on efficacy and effectiveness in order to highlight strengths and gaps of interventions on a global scale and could serve as a point of reference for those intending to undertake future design, implementation, and evaluation of interventions. Through an extensive search, 3,710 citations were identified and 58 met all of the eligibility criteria. The 58 included reviews focused on synthesizing the effectiveness evidence of interventions aimed at reducing various forms of VAWG and were included in the review. They collectively summarized evidence on 290 tested interventions. Topics covered included child sexual abuse, harmful traditional practices, intimate partner violence, non-partner rape, sexual assault, and harassment. Twenty-one evaluations were identified that had statistically significant positive effects on reducing VAWG. The global evidence base is heavily skewed towards the Global North. Over 70 percent of the impact evaluations were conducted in just seven high income countries comprising six percent of the world's population. This skewed distribution of evidence demonstrates an urgent need for more investment in rigorous evaluations of a range of interventions across different sectors to prevent VAWG in low- and middle-income countries. (From the Executive summary). Record #4960
