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.

Through three days of discussions about theory, interactive group exercises, role-playing, and multi-media presentations, the training institute presents participants with a framework to positively con​struct masculinity and to motivate men’s engagement in challenging the attitudes and behaviors that support violence against girls and women. This training is ideal for staff from universities, middle and high schools, law enforcement agencies, the US armed forces, statewide and local coalitions, service agencies, and government agencies.
