Health care settings provide a unique opportunity to identify VAWG survivors, provide critical support services, and prevent future harm. VAWG has intergenerational effects: boys who witness intimate partner violence (IPV) at home are more likely to grow up to perpetrate violence themselves. And girls with childhood exposure to IPV are more likely to experience violence in later relationships. The health sector can play a role in educating clients and the broader community about VAWG as a human rights violation and major public health issue.Esta nota sectorial estudia la integración de iniciativas de prevención y respuesta a la violencia contra mujeres y niñas en el sector de la salud .La violencia contra las mujeres y las niñas es un problema complejo de salud pública y de derechos humanos, con efectos negativos en la salud física y mental. La exposición a la violencia se ha vinculado a múltiples resultados adversos para la salud física de las mujeres, incluyendo traumatismos agudos, dolor crónico, enfermedades gastrointestinales y problemas ginecológicos. Las consecuencias en la salud mental pueden incluir el riesgo de sufrir depresión, trastorno de estrés postraumático y abuso de sustancias. Los centros de atención de salud ofrecen una oportunidad única para identificar a las sobrevivientes de la VCMN, proveerles servicios de apoyo críticos y prevenir perjuicios futuros. Aunque la mayor parte de ellas nunca pide ayuda, el sector de la salud suele ser el primer punto de contacto para quienes buscan servicios de cuidados y asistencia. Las actividades de prevención y respuesta a la VCMN se deberán incorporar en planes, políticas y directrices nacionales, protocolos institucionales, programas de estudio de medicina y enfermería, centros de atención de salud, etc. Es esencial la coordinación de los sectores que proveen servicios legales, judiciales y sociales para garantizar que las sobrevivientes sean remitidas a todos los servicios necesarios para hacer frente a la violencia y asegurar su recuperación.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABORTIONABUSED WOMENADOLESCENCEADOLESCENTALCOHOLALCOHOL USEANXIETYBIRTH ATTENDANTSBIRTH WEIGHTCARE PROVIDERSCASE MANAGEMENTCHILD ABUSECHILD HEALTHCHILD MARRIAGECHILD SEXUAL ABUSECHILDHOODCHRONIC PAINCIVIL WARCLINICSCOERCIONCOMMUNITY EDUCATIONCOMMUNITY HEALTHCOMMUNITY HEALTH NURSINGCOMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERSCOMMUNITY MOBILIZATIONCOMPLICATIONSCOMPREHENSIVE CARECONDOMCONDOM USECONFLICT RESOLUTIONCOUNSELORSCRISIS INTERVENTIONDENTISTRYDEPRESSIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDIVORCEDOMESTIC VIOLENCEDOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENDRUG USEEARLY IDENTIFICATIONEDUCATION ACTIVITIESEMERGENCY CONTRACEPTIONEMOTIONAL SUPPORTEMOTIONAL VIOLENCEEMPOWERING WOMENEPIDEMICESSENTIAL MEDICINESEXPOSURE TO VIOLENCEFAMILY PLANNINGFEMALEGENDERGENDER BASED VIOLENCEGENDER NORMSGENDER VIOLENCEGENDER-BASED VIOLENCEGIRLSGYNAECOLOGYGYNECOLOGYHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALSHEALTH CARE PROVIDERSHEALTH CARE SYSTEMHEALTH CENTERSHEALTH FACILITYHEALTH INFORMATIONHEALTH NEEDSHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH PROFESSIONALSHEALTH PROVIDERSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICEHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SYSTEMSHEALTHCARE PROVIDERSHIVHIV/AIDSHOSPITALHOSPITALSHUMAN RIGHTSHUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONHUSBANDSILLNESSINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINITIATION OF SEXINJURIESINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GYNECOLOGYINTERVENTIONINTIMATE PARTNERLAWSLEGAL SUPPORTMEDICAL STAFFMEDICINEMEDICINESMENTALMENTAL HEALTHMENTAL HEALTH CONSEQUENCESMINISTRY OF HEALTHMORTALITYNATIONAL ACTIONNATIONAL ACTION PLANNATIONAL HEALTHNATIONAL HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEMNATIONAL LEVELNURSENURSESNURSINGOBSTETRICSPAMPHLETPARTNER ABUSEPATIENTPATIENT RIGHTSPATIENTSPHYSICAL ABUSEPHYSICAL HEALTHPHYSICAL VIOLENCEPOLICY BRIEFPOLICY LEVELPOPULATION COUNCILPOST-ABORTIONPOST-ABORTION CAREPOSTERSPOSTEXPOSURE PROPHYLAXISPREGNANCYPREGNANCY CAREPREGNANT WOMENPREVENTION ACTIVITIESPRIVACYPROPHYLAXISPROVISION OF SERVICESPSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSEPSYCHOLOGYPSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORTPUBLIC HEALTHQUALITY OF CARERAPERAPE SURVIVORSRAPE VICTIMSRATES OF CONDOM USEREFERRAL SERVICESREFUGEESREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CAREREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICESREPRODUCTIVE RIGHTSRESPECTRISK ASSESSMENTRISK FACTORSRISK-TAKINGSCREENINGSERVICE PROVIDERSSERVICE PROVISIONSEXUAL ASSAULTSEXUAL EXPLOITATIONSEXUAL HARASSMENTSEXUAL VIOLENCESEXUAL VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENSEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONSSHELTERSSOCIAL ISSUESSOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL WORKERSSTISSUBSTANCE ABUSESUPPORT SERVICESSURVIVORS OF VIOLENCETECHNICAL ASSISTANCETHERAPISTSTHERAPYTRADITIONAL BIRTH ATTENDANTSTRAINING HEALTH CARE WORKERSTRAUMATYPES OF VIOLENCEUNFPAUNICEFUNINTENDED PREGNANCIESUNINTENDED PREGNANCYUNSAFE ABORTIONUNWANTED PREGNANCIESUSAIDVACCINATIONVICTIMSVIOLENCEVIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENVOCATIONAL TRAININGWARWOMANWOMENAPOS;S HEALTHWORKERSWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONYOUNG MENYOUNG WOMENYOUTHYOUTH DEVELOPMENTYOUTH HEALTH10.1596/21092
