An Overview of the Global Women's Institute

This year, GWI co-sponsored several events to showcase the work of the WEAVE (Women Engaged Against Violence Everywhere) Collective. Across three different events, researchers from India, Nicaragua, Australia, and South Africa are presenting their key findings about the critical role that women's movements play in the struggle to end violence against women and girls. 

The Global Women's Institute is celebrating a key achievement in research on what works to end violence against women and girls, with the publication of a new article  co-authored by Dr. Maureen Murphy (GWI), entitled "Reducing Violence Against Women and Girls in a Time of Crisis: An Impact Evaluation of the Rethinking Power Program in Haiti." The article suggests the program has made a difference in attitudes and incidence of violence within the intervention community. 

The Global Women's Institute co-published an article in The Lancet on the status of violence against women and girls in conflict. "Violence against women and girls in conflict: progress and priorities" provides a snapshot of the current situation of women and girls in conflict settings, and the disproportionate risks of violence that they face.

Led by Dr. Chelsea Ullman (GWI), a team of researchers from GWI has published a systematic review of reviews on the latest available evidence about how to prevent violence against women and girls. This review specifically addresses new information available since 2013.
