• In Event: Consequences of Global Disasters and Cross-National Variations In Violence

Abstract

The primary goal of this study is to build up-to-date evidence to understand better and address the consequences of a broad range of gender-based violence experiences among internally displaced individuals and refugees in Ukraine. The research questions used to guide this study include: What is the prevalence of gender-based violence experienced by internally displaced persons and refugees in Ukraine in the pre-migration, migration, and post-migration stages? Who are the primary actors and circumstances resulting in gender-based violence at these different stages? How have unique intersections between war and gender-based violence impacted individuals in the short and long term?
