This publication explores the engagement and commitment of members of parliament to public policy on the prevention of gender-based violence (GBV) across Asia and the Pacific. The recommendations generated by this research will be used to raise awareness and facilitate education with parliamentarians on GBV prevention approaches, including work with boys and men; develop networks of champions who can further regional and national level discussions and deliberations on GBV prevention; and strengthen mechanisms that effectively bridge high-level policy action and decision-making with on-the-ground activities.
