Prevent Violence Against Women and Girls in Nepal

The One Community One Family project adapted and tested the effectiveness of Sammanit Jeevan (Living with Dignity), a family-focused intervention designed to reduce any form of gender-based violence by husbands, change harmful social and gender norms and improve the economic conditions of young married women living in communities with high rates of migrancy.

The evaluation study was conducted in rural migrant communities of Baglung District in Nepal by the South African Medical Research Council, Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO) Nepal and Bhimapokhara Youth Club (BYC) from 2016 to 2018 as part of the DFID-funded ‘What Works to Prevent Violence Against Women and Girls’ global programme.
