What are the ways to reduce domestic violence against children?

First, there needs to be the political will to address domestic violence against women and children. States need to ratify human rights conventions particularly those on the Rights of the Child and the Elimination of All Forms of Violence and Discrimination against Women, as well as Civil and Political Rights. Some states have laws that prevent force being used against children for the purposes of discipline (for example, New Zealand has such a law). Systems and laws need to be in place for child protection. Education, social services, health, police and justice need to work together to ensure services and systems are integrated and can work collaboratively.

Second, Communities need to mobilise against all forms of violence against women and children to place pressure on government and services to act to protect women and children. Action needs to be taken to address gender inequities, social norms and other societal supports for domestic violence against women and children. See:

However, awareness raising campaigns need to be strongly backed up by services for women and children or they can do harm.

Masculinities that raise male status through denigrating women and children need to be challenged. See for example the masculinities employed in alcohol marketing:

Third, women and children need safe housing, advocacy, and committed police and agency action to stop such violence. See:
