Responding to Gender Based Violence: Challenges, Solutions, and Lessons Learned

Session Submission Type: Pre-arranged Panel

Abstract

This panel brings together four papers which together address the aftermath of gender-based violence from a variety of perspectives. These include the policing of sexual violence, legislative attempts at curbing marital rape, support provision to survivors of GBV, and women's attitudes to police and the wider criminal justice system. Collectively, these presentations offer a comprehensive exploration of the complexities of responding to GBV, while also providing actionable insights for policy, practice, and future research in the field.
