scientifically credible strategies to prevent violence 
include nurse home-visiting and parenting education to 
prevent child maltreatment; life skills training for 
children ages 6–18 years; school-based programmes to 
address gender norms and attitudes; reducing alcohol 
availability and misuse through enactment and 
enforcement of liquor licensing laws, taxation and 
pricing; reducing access to guns and knives; and 
promoting gender equality by, for instance, supporting 
the economic empowerment of women.
