The prevention activity I brainstormed, which involves community-based education programs promoting gender equality, consent, and respectful relationships, would fall under the category of “universal prevention.”
Universal prevention strategies aim to reach an entire population, addressing risk and protective factors for everyone regardless of individual risk levels.
The community-based education programs target the entire community, providing knowledge and skills to both men and women.
It seeks to prevent violence by promoting positive behaviors, fostering healthy relationships, and addressing root causes, which benefits the entire community.
By promoting awareness, communication skills, and conflict resolution on a broad scale, it contributes to creating a cultural shift towards respect and equality.
This type of prevention activity has the potential to create a supportive environment that reduces the overall incidence of violence against women.
By focusing on universal prevention, the goal is to create a foundation of understanding and empathy throughout the community, making it less likely for violence to occur and fostering an environment where survivors feel supported in seeking help. It’s a proactive approach to address the societal norms and attitudes that contribute to violence against women.Selective prevention, this is because the activity is directed to the specific community going through the risk of violence against women including physical assault of wives by husbands, rape of girls, men controlling the finances of women among others. So the prevention is to address the already existing issue in that specific community.
