    Approaching old problems in new ways: social work training using community education as a primary prevention strategy to combat gender-based violence
    (UNAM Press, 2017) Freeman, Rachel J.
    Engaging communities in addressing gender-based violence has become a strategy in the global prevention of gender-based violence. Community education can take many forms and can provide viable alternatives to ad hoc programming. It adds up individual interventions, sequences them into logical progression, strives to build on what is achieved, and has an overview on how various activities slowly come together to change the social climate. Community education is responsive participatory and based on a holistic analysis of the root causes of gender-based violence (Michau, 2007).
