In this episode of Life Solved, Professor Tamsin Bradley explains how innovative research into violence against women is informing international development organisations on how to respond to crises.
Professor Bradley has been working with international community projects in areas like Nepal, South Sudan, Myanmar and Bangladesh to explore women’s experiences of violence after economic or environmental hardship.
She realised that peer networks and support groups outside the home offered a safe space for women to disclose information, share and access support.
What’s more, her research has added nuance to common perceptions about violence against women and intimate partner violence, revealing tensions in cultures that organisations can work to relieve.
Tamsin explains learnings that could help challenge violence and control and nurture sustainable development for girls and women who have experienced violence.
