- Adolescent development clubs (such as the Empowerment and Livelihood for Adolescents program in Uganda) can reduce the risk of sexual violence for adolescents and youth, especially during vulnerable periods. These clubs teach skills like earning and saving money, and making healthy choices. They can also offer fun activities, emotional support, and confidence-building. <\/li>\n
- Parenting programs can help caregivers reduce risks and talk about, prevent, and respond to sexual violence. The review found examples of impactful programs focused on parents of preschoolers and programs focused on parents of adolescents (such as “My Mother is My Best Friend” in Sri Lanka). <\/li>\n
- Teacher training focused on delivering inclusive, engaging, age-appropriate prevention lessons (such as a preschool sexual abuse prevention program that was implemented in Iran) can boost children’s protective factors, such as improving knowledge and self-efficacy skills. <\/li>\n
- Cash-plus interventions targeting women and adolescent girls combine various activities, including cash transfers and other elements such as skills training, community engagement, and sexual violence prevention sessions. An example is Girl Empower in Liberia, which provided unconditional cash transfers and life skills training for adolescent girls in addition to caregiver support. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nSafe Futures Hub is designed to meaningfully include underrepresented perspectives that have often been excluded or under-represented, said Liz Dartnall,\u00a0 executive director of SVRI. We recognise the vital need for greater collaboration, innovation, and diversity in combating this complex and grave issue. By combining this review with a framework on practice-based knowledge and an online interactive platform, the Safe Futures Hub aims to move beyond desk-based research, ensuring that the voices of program practitioners and participants are more strongly reflected.<\/p>\n\nUltimately, the research has a hopeful message.\u00a0<\/p>\n\nWe are in the midst of a global crisis, with millions of children facing escalating violence. But there is hope. This review shows that practical, scalable solutions exist to prevent and disrupt this cycle, said Iain Drennan, Executive Director of WeProtect Global Alliance.
