This study describes the level of government commitment in preventing domestic violence (DV) toward Indigenous women in countries of the Global North. Seventy-two government-endorsed DV prevention plans across 11 countries were analyzed. While more than half of the plans acknowledged Indigenous peoples, the main discourse reinforced a Western DV paradigm, reproduced negative stereotypes, and ignored systemic factors. Little consideration for intersectionality, the impact of colonization, or Indigenous worldviews was evident. Targeted prevention strategies were found but were disjointed and culturally inappropriate. Taken together, these findings suggest minimal government commitment and absence of cultural understanding regarding DV in Indigenous communities.
本研究描述了全球北方国家政府在预防针对土著妇女的家庭暴力（DV）方面的承诺水平。对 11 个国家的 72 项政府认可的 DV 预防计划进行了分析。尽管超过一半的计划承认了土著人民，但主要论述强化了西方的 DV 范式，复制了负面刻板印象，忽视了系统性因素。几乎没有考虑到交叉问题、殖民化的影响或土著世界观。虽然发现了有针对性的预防策略，但这些策略是不连贯的，且在文化上是不合适的。总的来说，这些发现表明政府在土著社区的 DV 问题上的承诺和文化理解都很有限。
