Making Progress in Prevention Possible: A Monitoring Framework for the Prevention of Violence Against Women and Girls in the Asia-Pacific Region Report and Summary

This summary introduces a monitoring framework to support the prevention of violence against women and girls (VAWG) across the Asia-Pacific region. With one in three women globally experiencing violence in their lifetime, prevention is urgent — but progress requires clear, consistent ways to measure change in the short, medium, and long term.

Designed for policymakers and practitioners, the framework outlines the core components of effective prevention, offers tools for monitoring impact, and aligns with key global and regional commitments.

By promoting consistency, comparability, and shared learning across countries, it aims to strengthen capacity, improve data, and ultimately accelerate efforts to ensure women and girls live free from violence.
