The purpose of the EVE Project (Evidence for Violence prevention in the Extreme) is to establish an evidence base for how to prevent violence against women and girls (VAWG) in the world's highest prevalence settings. This includes countries or regions where over 25% of women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence in the past year. The EVE Project takes a decolonial approach to establishing this research evidence by strengthening the capacity of local indigenous communities to develop their own understandings of VAWG and its prevention. In addition to an international work package comparing national VAWG drivers and protective factors, we are working with communities in Peru and Samoa to co-develop interventions that build on local approaches to conflict resolution and social change. This has contributed to several short-term impacts including: a series of collaborative research papers on high-prevalence settings for VAWG with 33 co-authors from 16 different international organisations published in leading journals (BMJ Global Health, Social Science & Medicine, BMC Public Health); a substantiated association between a country's colonial past and its current prevalence of VAWG (Brown et al 2022); a network of 50 community-based representatives trained in VAWG data collection and analysis; and a pilot study of a new approach to co-developing VAWG interventions in partnership with communities called Participatory Community-led Intervention Development (PCID) (Mannell et al 2021). As part of this extension, we will continue this important work by: (a) elaborating identified associations between colonialism and VAWG to inform current discussions on decolonising VAWG research and practice, (b) examining the potential for community-led child protection strategies to address the high risk of VAWG currently experienced in the Pacific region, and (c) developing inclusive measurement tools that consider the unique needs of groups within indigenous communities who experience some of the highest rates of VAWG, including young people, women living with disabilities, and individuals with marginalised gender identities. Our long-term aim is to ensure measurable impacts for the lives of women and girls living in high-prevalence settings through transforming how we research and develop interventions to prevent violence.

EVE 项目（极端暴力预防证据）的目的是为如何在世界上发生率最高的环境中预防暴力侵害妇女和女童行为 (VAWG) 建立证据基础。这包括过去一年中有超过 25% 的女性遭受过身体暴力和/或性暴力的国家或地区。 EVE 项目采用非殖民化方法，通过加强当地土著社区的能力来建立这一研究证据，以发展他们自己对暴力侵害妇女行为及其预防的理解。除了比较各国暴力侵害妇女行为的驱动因素和保护因素的国际工作包外，我们还与秘鲁和萨摩亚的社区合作，共同制定基于当地解决冲突和社会变革方法的干预措施。这产生了一些短期影响，包括：来自 16 个不同国际组织的 33 名合著者在领先期刊（BMJ Global Health、Social Science & Medicine、BMC Public健康）;一个国家的殖民历史与当前暴力侵害妇女行为盛行之间存在已证实的关联（Brown 等人，2022 年）；由 50 名社区代表组成的网络，接受过暴力侵害妇女行为数据收集和分析培训；以及一项与社区合作共同开发针对暴力侵害妇女行为的干预措施的新方法的试点研究，称为参与性社区主导的干预开发（PCID）（Mannell 等人，2021）。作为这一扩展的一部分，我们将通过以下方式继续开展这项重要工作：(a) 阐述殖民主义与暴力侵害妇女行为之间已确定的关联，为当前关于消除暴力侵害妇女行为的研究和实践的讨论提供信息；(b) 审查社区主导的儿童保护战略解决这一问题的潜力。 (c) 开发包容性衡量工具，考虑土著社区内遭受暴力侵害妇女行为发生率最高的群体的独特需求，包括年轻人、残疾妇女和性别边缘化的个体身份。我们的长期目标是通过改变我们研究和开发预防暴力的干预措施的方式，确保对生活在高发率环境中的妇女和女孩的生活产生可衡量的影响。
