What works in United States of America

The evidence in the CONTEXT block shows several US interventions addressing social equity and crisis response. Colorado's Equal Pay for Equal Work Act had received 1,747 pay-discrimination complaints by October 2024, demonstrating uptake of mandatory salary-transparency enforcement. work2future, Silicon Valley's workforce network, served 4,158 participants in 2022 and placed 758 clients into employment, while its partner programs achieved placement rates of 84–87%. Coaching Boys Into Men, a high-school dating-violence prevention programme, prevented an estimated 85 dating-abuse incidents per 1,000 athletes at 12-month follow-up. The Trevor Project handled over 450,000 crisis contacts in FY2024 for LGBTQ+ youth, though it faced significant funding losses in 2025. These practices demonstrate varied approaches to workplace equity, workforce development, violence prevention, and mental-health crisis response, though the evidence is primarily observational or self-reported rather than from rigorous impact trials.
