World Bank Income Classification:Low IncomeThe World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations.Least Developed Country:YesSince 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability.Gender Inequality Index:0.575GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa.Gender Development Index:0.723GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

Outcome Description
This outcome focuses on promoting social norms and behaviour change at the local and community level with the aim of effective prevention and responses to violence against women by shifting norms and attitudes to be gender-equitable. This outcome pays attention to sites such as public spaces, cities and schools, and includes campaigns to end violence against women.
Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.

2021
Favorable social norms, attitudes and behaviors are promoted at national, community and individual levels to prevent VAW
UN Women ROAP led a joint initiative with WHO to introduce the latest evidence on the prevention of VAW to teams of policymakers, advocates, and researchers from Bangladesh, India, and Nepal in 2021. This learning series is designed primarily for policymakers focused on the global RESPECT framework developed by WHO and UN Women and has since been replicated in other regions and countries globally as well as in the Asia-Pacific region. Participants in the series have used the evidence and networks formed to advance prevention strategies, programming, and research.
The Regional Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue on the Action Coalition on Gender-Based Violence brought together change-makers from across the Asia Pacific region to accelerate action on gender equality, inspire action and bold commitments from all stakeholders and discuss the priority Action Areas. The Regional Dialogue was organized by UN Women ROAP in collaboration with the CSO Breakthrough and featured a diversity of speakers and activists. It kicked off with the powerful poem ‘Fortified Fortress’ by a young Thai artist, which spoke to the experiences of abuse, harassment, and violence that many survivors of violence against women share. The event featured speakers about the Transformative Agenda of the Action Coalition on Gender-Based Violence and the Commitment Makers Model. The four Actions of the GBV Action Coalition were unpacked, featuring a diverse range of speakers and views from across the region. The attention on the issues received through this Regional Dialogue is informing the EVAW teams and conversations and engagement with donors, governments, and other stakeholders going forward.
In 2021, UN Women and the Equality Institute published a Monitoring Framework to measure progress in the prevention of VAW. Building on global frameworks – including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, this Monitoring Framework is intended for policymakers and advocates to support monitoring progress on preventing and ending VAW and advancing gender equality at national levels by providing suggested indicators to measure the change in the short, medium, and long term. These indicators align with the SDGs and present an array of options that illustrate how tracking indicators for gender equality- such as land ownership- are related to violence prevention. This resource meets a critical need in the field of prevention of violence, where progress in reducing violence is slow as measured by national prevalence rates, and more intermediate measures of change are needed.
