SUMMARY:Launch: Intersections between violence against children and violence against women: Global research priorities
DESCRIPTION:Homes are supposed to be safe havens but\, for many children and women homes are settings where they experience recurring violence leading to devastating consequences. There is a growing global recognition that violence against women and violence against children\, intersect in different ways. Establishing research priorities that focus on these intersections is important to help advance our understanding of how to address these two forms of violence in a more structured way and help measure progress and create safe homes for children\, women and families. \nUNICEF Innocenti partnered with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Human Reproduction Programme (HRP) and the Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI)\, to ask 153 policy makers\, practitioners\, advocates\, and survivors what knowledge could help them simultaneously reduce violence against children and women and compassionately respond to survivors’ needs. The result is the report “Intersections between violence against children and violence against women: Global Research Priorities”. \nDuring this webinar we will be discussing the report\, the 10 highest-ranking questions identified\, and insights from partners who work at the intersection of these two forms of violence.

SUMMARY:Researcher Wellbeing (RES-WELL) Toolkit Launch
DESCRIPTION:As researchers\, we often face emotional challenges as part of our work\, and this is especially true for researchers working on emotional and ethically challenging topics\, such as climate change\, racism and violence. However\, such challenges are not always recognised by the people and institutions we work with\, including research organisations\, funding bodies\, PhD supervisors and line managers. To address this\, UCL\, the University of Exeter and the University of Leeds have developed a new Researcher Wellbeing (RES-WELL) Toolkit designed to help research institutions bring about cultural change in the way they support researchers\, including those working on emotionally challenging topics. This launch will provide an overview of the Toolkit and its development\, and facilitate interactive group activities and discussions around how you can use it in your own organisation. The event would be particularly relevant for researchers working on emotionally challenging research themselves\, as well as those leading teams\, supervising PhD students\, or developing EDI strategies for institutions\, funders or ethics committees. The RES-WELL Toolkit has been developed with support from the Future Leaders Fellows (FLF) Development Network and is a collaborative effort between three FLF awardees from UCL\, the University of Exeter and the University of Leeds.

SUMMARY:Using technology to drive change in GBV programming
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, we’ll hear about two innovation projects that are using technology to improve survivor-centred care in GBV response programming. MediCapt provides a digital platform to facilitate clinicians to comprehensively collect and securely store evidence of GBV\, including forensic photography of injuries sustained by survivors. We’ll also hear from Norwegian Church Aid\, about the results of the search\, adaptation and invention processes they’ve pursued to innovate how virtual reality can be used a part of therapy for survivors of GBV (note: the Norwegian Church Aid project was not funded by the HIF\, but has received other humanitarian innovation funding).

SUMMARY:Webinar series: Applying cross-cutting methods to gender-based violence
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, we’ll hear how new ways of working that are gaining traction as humanitarian and research methodologies can be applied effectively to GBV programming. \nBoth these Elrha-funded innovations focused on reaching migrants and refugees in Latin America\, but their work has been applied in other contexts too\, such as the Middle East. Women’s Refugee Commission will share their learning from using cash transfers to support survivors of intimate partner violence\, while the teams from International Organization for Migration and Queen’s University will show how the sense-making approach to data-gathering provides a new way of understanding GBV risks and service needs\, potentially doing so quicker\, more accurately and with less stigma.
