Violence, Gender and Health – Research and Knowledge for Impact

We are committed to generating and sharing knowledge about the intersections of violence & trauma, gender, social conditions and health inequities. Our work supports policy, practice, education, and, ultimately, those experiencing violence and inequality.

This website is primarily aimed at researchers and service providers seeking information and evidence, but we also link to new evidence-informed resources for those experiencing violence. We hope you find what you need.
