These programs can be implemented through public and/or private sectors, with the involvement of single or multiple government sectors, or by some combination of these actors. This brief will specifically focus on four types of social protection interventions: social assistance, social insurance, labor market programs, and early childhood development. It will offer suggestions for integrating violence against women and girls (VAWG) prevention efforts within these interventions. These areas of focus are meant to be illustrative of different social protection programs, rather than to reflect the full breadth of SP programs. In general, SP programs are public interventions that support the poorest populations and assist individuals, households, and communities to better overcome social and economic risks. Examples of programs include: a) social assistance (social safety nets): cash transfers, school feeding, and targeted food assistance; b) social insurance: old-age and disability pensions and unemployment insurance; c) labor market programs: skills-building programs, job-search and matching programs, and improved labor regulations; and d) early childhood development. Other program interventions, which fall under what is referred to as social protection, aim to strengthen families abilities to respond to hardships by promoting gender equality. Examples include early childhood development, projects that focus on at-risk youth, or targeted poverty alleviation programs.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABUSEACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCESS TO HEALTHACCESS TO HEALTH CAREACCESS TO MARKETSACCESS TO RESOURCESADOLESCENTADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENTADOLESCENTSADULTHOODADVERSE HEALTHAGEDARMED CONFLICTBEHAVIOR CHANGECAREGIVERSCHILD ABUSECHILD CARECHILD HEALTHCHILD MALTREATMENTCHILD MARRIAGESCODES OF CONDUCTCONDOMCONDOM USECONFLICT RESOLUTIONCRIMEDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT INTERVENTIONSDISABILITYDISASTERSDOMESTIC ABUSEDOMESTIC VIOLENCEDOMESTIC WORKERSEARLY CHILDHOODEARLY MARRIAGEECONOMIC EMPOWERMENTECONOMIC OBSTACLESECONOMIC RESOURCESELDERLYEMOTIONAL SUPPORTEMOTIONAL VIOLENCEEMPLOYMENT OF WOMENEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPOWERING WOMENEMPOWERMENT OF WOMENEQUAL RIGHTSFAMILIESFAMILY PLANNINGFATHERSFEMALEFOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONSFORMS OF DISCRIMINATIONFUTURE GENERATIONSGENDERGENDER ;AMP; DEVELOPMENTGENDER IMBALANCEGENDER ISSUESGENDER NORMSGENDER-BASED VIOLENCEGIRLSHEALTH CAREHEALTH OUTCOMESHIGH-RISKHIVHOME CAREHOUSEHOLD DYNAMICSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RIGHTSHUSBANDSILLNESSINCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIESINDIGENOUS WOMENINFORMAL SECTORINHERITANCEINTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATIONINTERVENTIONINTIMATE PARTNERJOB CREATIONJOB SECURITYJOURNAL OF MARRIAGELABOR MARKETLABOUR ORGANIZATIONLAWSLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLIFE SKILLSLIVELIHOOD OPPORTUNITIESLIVELIHOOD SKILLSMALE ATTITUDESMALE PARTNERSMENTAL HEALTHMINORITYMOTHERSNATIONAL ACTIONOLD AGEOLD-AGEOLDER WOMENPARENTINGPARTNER ABUSEPENSIONSPERPETRATORS OF VIOLENCEPHYSICAL VIOLENCEPOLICY LEVELPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOOR MENTAL HEALTHPREGNANCYPREGNANT WOMENPREVENTION ACTIVITIESPREVENTION EFFORTSPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL EDUCATIONPROGRESSPROMOTING GENDER EQUALITYPUBLIC HEALTHQUALITY EDUCATIONRANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALSRAPERECREATIONREFUGEEREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHRESPECTRIGHTS FOR WOMENRISK ASSESSMENTRISK FACTORSRISK OF VIOLENCEROLE OF WOMENSAFETY NETSAFETY NETSSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOLSSELF-CONFIDENCESELF-ESTEEMSERVICE PROVIDERSSEXSEXUAL BEHAVIORSEXUAL HARASSMENTSHELTERSSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL JUSTICESOCIAL MOBILIZATIONSOCIAL NORMSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL SUPPORTSUBSTANCE USESURVIVORS OF VIOLENCETEENAGE PREGNANCIESTRAINING OPPORTUNITIESTRAUMAUNDPUNEMPLOYMENTURBAN COMMUNITIESVIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENVULNERABILITYVULNERABILITY TO VIOLENCEVULNERABLE POPULATIONSWOMANWOMEN IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPSWOMEN WITH DISABILITIESWOMENAPOS;S HEALTHWORKING CONDITIONSWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONYOUNG WOMENYOUTH10.1596/21089
