Ending family and gender-based violence is long-term work that must occur at all levels and all settings across the community. This continuum of interconnected and concurrent activities is often grouped into three broad categories:
- prevention – or primary prevention
- early intervention – or secondary prevention
- response and recovery – or tertiary prevention
Initiatives focused on each of these areas are important and reinforce each other.
Safe+Equal’s latest resource ‘What is Primary Prevention?’ aims to promote understanding of family and gender-based violence work across the continuum, from prevention to response, as well as provide practical suggestions to improve connection.
