This is the Action Plan for the first two years of the Promoting Respect and Equity Together regional strategy.

Promoting Respect and Equity Together 2021-2025 (PRET) is the second regional strategy for the prevention of gendered violence. It follows the first strategy, Preventing Violence Together 2016-2021 (PVT).

The strategy has evolved over six years, from building a case for collective action and building the capability of practitioners in the region to undertaking primary prevention initiatives, strengthening and growing the partnership, and ensuring best practice in identified areas of work across the region.

The Action plan covers:

1. Making PVAW and GE everyone’s business

2. Organisational Strengthening and Leadership

3. Building Workforce Capacity

5. Collaboration and Networking
