Abstract
- PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Violence against women and children is increasingly recognized as an important and urgent public health social and human rights issue cutting across geographical socioeconomic and cultural boundaries. There is a large and growing body of literature that demonstrates the negative impact of such violence on the victims mental and physical health as well as several other consequences on them their families and communities. However this literature for the most part comes from the so-called developed countries. This review at the opposite focused on current literature on prevention of domestic/family violence against children and women in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). RECENT FINDINGS: Establishing effective prevention programmes for domestic violence against women and children in LMICs requires an understanding of the sociopolitical economic and cultural settings and a multilevel collaboration among various stakeholders. SUMMARY: This review confirms the lack of research in the so-called developing countries and provides suggestions for further research and prevention efforts in this setting.
