The US Government recently released its global strategy to prevent and respond to gender-based violence. One of its four key objectives is to improve the collection, analysis, and use of data to enhance prevention and response efforts. Yet local research capacity is lagging in many parts of the world, particularly among those best positioned to use research for policy advocacy and program design. Why and what can be done?

Join ICRW for an informative discussion moderated by Lois Romano, Senior Political Writer for Politico and ICRW Board Member, with the following esteemed panelists:

Kay Freeman, Director of Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment, USAID
Stella Mukasa, Director of Gender, Violence and Rights, ICRW
Mary Ellsberg, Director, Global Women's Institute, GWU
Karen McDonnell, Associate Professor, School of Public Health and Health Services, GWU

ICRW will launch its latest publication, Strengthening Research and Action on Gender-based Violence in Africa at this event.
