“…Soul City deploys a variety of measurement methods, including quantitative baseline and follow-up surveys, and some qualitative data (Soul City Institute, 2016). An evaluation of a Soul City intervention to address domestic violence found a 14 % increase in agreement with a statement that no woman deserves to be beaten, and the same percentage increase in awareness about a national helpline connecting Soul City audiences to assistance for domestic violence (Hillis et al, 2015;Usdin, Scheepers, Goldstein, & Japhet, 2005). The intervention also correlated with a shift in attitudes, showing a 10% increase in respondents disagreeing that domestic violence was a private affair (Usdin et al, 2005).…”

Research on violence against children, though extensive, has not been effectively deployed for the development and tailoring of communication efforts aimed at specific national, local and cultural contexts within which such violence occurs. This article presents a staged, multi-sectoral communication strategy to reduce the incidence of violence against children in South Africa. Drawing on formative data collected through a literature review, key informant interviews, focus groups, and a stakeholder review meeting, the research team, in collaboration with UNICEF South Africa, formulated a communication strategy aimed at combatting violence against children. The data analysis and strategy development within a socialecological framework sought to identify factors at multiple levels that contribute to violence against children in the South African context. The communication strategy is designed to achieve positive social and behaviour change outcomes in South Africa with respect to the treatment of children, and also to provide an approach as well as specific elements that are potentially replicable to some extent in other countries.

“…As a result, analysts have hypothesized Regardless of whether or not evidence on the effectiveness of community mobilization strategies (e.g., public events and advocacy campaigns) to reduce violence remains limited, these strategies appear to have changed attitudes towards gender and violence. This is essential in order to build on violence reduction approaches (Usdin et al, 1982;Michau et al, 2014).…”

ÖZETŞiddetten korunma programları tarih boyunca kadınlara odaklanmış ve kadın-lar üzerinden yürütülmüştür. Kadınların hala güçlendirilmeye, eşitliğinin ve güvenliğinin sağlanmasına ihtiyacı vardır. Ancak, erkeklerle çalışmanın bölge-sel ve kültürel alanlarda güçlü bir etkisi olabileceği, öğretmenlerin, sağlık çalışanlarının, polislerin, askerlerin, imamların, rahiplerin, papazların ve yerel liderlerin şiddetle mücadelede olumlu rol modeller olabileceği, daha huzurlu bir aile yaşamı ve toplum için insanlar arasında etkileşimi sağlayabileceği düşünülmektedir. Son yıllarda, cinsiyete dayalı şiddetin son bulmasında erkeklerin rolü ve erkek işbirliği, kadına yönelik şiddetin sonlanması hareketinin önemli bir unsuru haline gelmiştir. Ancak erkeklerin şiddetle mücadeledeki rol ve görevlerinin önemini vurgulayan, halkı bilinçlendirmeye yönelik çok daha fazla çalışmaya gereksinim vardır. Kadına yönelik şiddetin temel sorumlusu olan erkeklerin, aynı zamanda kadına yönelik şiddetin sonlanmasında önemli mücadeleciler de olabileceğini gösteren çalışmaların vurgulanması gerekmektedir. Anahtar Sözcükler: Kadına yönelik şiddet, erkek, erkek işbirliği ABSTRACTHistorically, violence prevention work has been driven by and focused on women. Women still need to be center stage in terms of empowerment, equality and safety. There is a strong potential in work with men in local religious and cultural institutions. Teachers, health care personels, polices, soldiers, imams, priests, monks and local civic leaders wield broad influence, can serve as positive non-violent role models and can make the connections between local beliefs and more peaceful homes and communities. However, many more studies are needed for public awareness and stressing the importance of the role and duties of men to ending the violence. The men are
