To achieve lasting change, it is important to enact and enforce legislation and develop and implement policies that promote gender equality by: ending discrimination against women in marriage, divorce and custody laws, ending discrimination in inheritance laws and ownership of assets, improving women’s access to paid employment and developing and resourcing national plans and policies to address violence against women.
While preventing and responding to violence against women requires a multi-sectoral approach, the health sector has an important role to play.

The health sector can: Advocate to make violence against women unacceptable and for such violence to be addressed as a public health problem.
Provide comprehensive services, sensitize and train health care providers in responding to the needs of survivors holistically and empathetically.
Prevent recurrence of violence through early identification of women and children who are experiencing violence and providing appropriate referral and support
Promote egalitarian gender norms as part of life skills and comprehensive sexuality education curricula taught to young people.
Generate evidence on what works and on the magnitude of the problem by carrying out population-based surveys, or including violence against women in population-based demographic and health surveys, as well as in surveillance and health information systems.
WHO plays a key role in bringing attention to and responding to violence against women as a public health and gender equality issue through: Research and evidence-building to highlight the magnitude of violence against women, its risk factors and consequences, and to identify effective interventions for prevention and response.
Developing guidelines and tools, setting norms and standards for an effective health response to violence against women.
Strengthening country capacity of health systems and providers to prevent and respond to violence against women.
Encouraging leadership in health systems and building political will to address violence against women through advocacy and partnerships.
