Beyond Training: Changing the Institutional Response to Violence Against Women and Girls

This new guidance resource by UN Women’s Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific offers practical tools to strengthen institutional responses to violence against women and girls by moving beyond one-off trainings. Building on the Essential Services Package (ESP) and decades of global practice, the publication introduces "The Eight Methods"—a systems-change framework for embedding survivor-centred, coordinated responses into institutional structures and practice. 

Developed with support from the Governments of Australia and the Republic of Korea, and in collaboration with Global Rights for Women and Praxis International, the resource adapts lessons from the Duluth Model for the Asia-Pacific context. It is designed for use by coordination bodies and institutions working across health, justice, policing, social services, and governance.
