520 _aParent and caregiver support programmes are in a unique position to reduce violence in the family - specifically violence against children and against their mothers and female caregivers. Both types of violence have long-term consequences for children’s health, development, and well-being. They also share common risk factors and social norms, rooted in gender inequality, which enables common solutions. Yet very few parenting programmes explicitly seek to reduce both violence against children and violence against women, although emerging evidence demonstrates programmes can reduce both simultaneously. Effective programmes 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 that support more equitable, caring, and nonviolent family dynamics. [1], [2] This brief explores what gender-transformative parenting programmes to reduce family violence look like in practice based on the evidence. It unpacks the common principles, delivery characteristics, and content of these programmes and how they work with parents to challenge unequal gender norms and power dynamics, reduce violence, and promote nurturing environments for children. It is designed to provide parenting practitioners with evidence-based insights to support the adaptation and strengthening of existing parenting programmes to work at the intersections of violence against children and violence against women. This brief is the second in a series designed to support practitioners in integrating the prevention of violence against children and violence against women, as well as the promotion of gender equality, into existing parenting programmes.
