Promoting Healthy Gender Norms and Behaviours in Early Adolescence

This technical paper explores programmatic models for addressing violence in adolescent intimate partner relationships. While gaps in evidence remain, there is a relatively wide literature including systematic evidence reviews and meta-analyses evaluating the quality of evidence on programs designed to prevent and respond to intimate partner violence (IPV), including among adolescents. UNICEF, however, has not yet developed a cohesive programmatic response to addressing this form of violence, which could be taken to scale and adapted in low- and middle-income contexts (LMICs) worldwide.T
