  4. Preventing violence before it occurs While there are minor differences in the specific factors identified in ecological models proposed by various experts to understand violence against women, many identify the unequal distribution of power and resources between men and women and adherence to rigidly defined gender roles as significant underlying factors in the perpetration of this problem.
