SUMMARY:Voices from the SVRI Forum 2024 - Session 2.2: Economic empowerment and violence prevention
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\n\nBuilding Safer Futures: Evolving Approaches to Economic Empowerment Economic insecurity is both a risk factor and consequence of violence. Economic empowerment is increasingly recognised as a potential pathway to reducing intimate partner violence (IPV) and other forms of GBV. \nHowever\, evidence suggests contradictory effects: \n\nSome studies show increased economic autonomy can reduce vulnerability to violence.\nOthers indicate that economic empowerment can increase risk in the short-term due to male backlash and controlling behaviours.\n\nWhat emerged from SVRI Forum 2024: \n\nResearch gaps in understanding the protective or risk-enhancing effects of economic interventions on IPV.\nStudies showing cash transfer programmes can reduce IPV when paired with gender-transformative interventions.\nImportance of financial decision-making power – women’s control over resources matters more than income itself in reducing IPV risks.\nCase studies of women-led cooperatives\, microfinance programmes\, and skills training initiatives that improved financial stability and reduced violence.\n\nThis webinar will explore what works\, what doesn’t\, and how economic interventions can be designed to protect rather than increasing risk. \n\nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Engaging Communities in Humanitarian Research: How Should We Share Our Findings?
DESCRIPTION:Our Research for Health in Humanitarian Crisis (R2HC) programme has previously published a rapid literature review and online courses\, supporting our grantees to engage community members as active participants in research uptake and use of research findings. However\, there is still much demand from researchers working in humanitarian contexts for both guiding principles and practical guidance on restitution of findings: returning data\, evidence and generated knowledge arising from research to communities in a way that grants them meaningful ownership\, knowledge and understanding. \nThis 90-minute online panel discussion will draw from the humanitarian and research communities to foster a learning discussion\, informed by practical experiences and case examples\, to inform good practice guidance which R2HC is co-developing with stakeholders. \nRegister here.
