Complementing strong and comprehensive legal frameworks, UN Women supports the development and implementation of national action plans (NAPs) for EVAWG that are critical for a coordinated approach to implementing national laws. The Handbook on multisectoral national action plans68 and the Handbook on Multisectoral National Action Plans to Prevent Violence against Women and Girls69 have been guiding UN Women’s work and supporting governments on developing responsive, evidence-based and well consulted NAPs to prevent violence against women and girls. Between 2022- 2023, UN Women supported 64 multi-sectoral strategies, action plans and policies adopted to support EVAWG.
Specific examples of UN Women’s work include:
- Trinidad and Tobago: Led the creation of the first costed National Strategic Action Plan on GBV (2023–2027).
- Fiji: Guided the National Action Plan to Prevent VAWG (2023–2028), based on consultations with 2,000+ stakeholders.
- Samoa: Developed a National Prevention Framework, integrating EVAWG into national planning.
- Cambodia: Provided technical assistance for its National Action Plan on VAWG (2019–2023).
