[Happening Next Week!] From Silence to Disclosure: Rethinking the Measurement of Intimate Partner Violence

Dear WEESA Members and Colleagues,

The way we ask about violence can profoundly influence what we learn. Reporting intimate partner violence (IPV) is frequently hindered by fear, shame, and concerns about privacy and anonymity. Drawing on new evidence from Pakistan and Peru, this WEESA webinar highlights innovative reporting methods that significantly increase disclosure – even in rural settings with low literacy levels. Discover which approaches have proven to be most viable and effective in supporting disclosure with greater safety, accuracy, and trust.

This learning event is co-hosted by the South Asia Gender Innovation Lab (SAR GIL) and the Latin America and Caribbean Gender Innovation Lab (LAC GIL), in commemoration of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.

Don't miss out! Join us on December 3, 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. (EST) to learn more about innovative ways to improve the accuracy and openness of IPV reporting.
