This is a specialised course that aims to strengthen participants’ knowledge and skills to conduct or commission technically rigorous, ethical, policy- and service-relevant and action-oriented research on various forms of violence against women. Last year, participants included, for example, academic and professional researchers and students, evaluation teams from international or non-governmental organizations, and donors who commission or need to understand the concepts and technical aspects behind strong research-based evidence. The course will cover topics such as:

• Conceptualising gender-based violence;
• Understanding the burden of disease and violence
• Masculinities and violence
• Human trafficking
• Ethics and safety in research on violence
• Impact evaluation of complex social interventions
• Questionnaire design for survey research;
• Qualitative data analysis;
• Using research for impact on policies, services and beneficiaries

During the week-long course, we draw from examples and the research needs of participants and also provide one-to-one consultation sessions to offer input on participants’ current or upcoming research.
