Gender Violence and Health Centre at 20: Future opportunities and priorities
A 20th anniversary event to mark the start of the 16 Days of Activism. Join us to celebrate 20 years of the GVHC and reflect on progress and future priorities in addressing violence against women and girls
The Gender Violence and Health Centre (GVHC) at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine is turning 20, and we would be delighted to have you join us to celebrate. The event also marks the start of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.
The evening will bring together perspectives from research, policy and practice to reflect on progress in addressing violence against women and girls over the past 20 years, with a particular focus on future challenges and priorities. The Co-Directors will open the event, followed by a panel discussion and questions from the audience.
We are inviting researchers, policymakers, funders, NGOs and research partners to:
- exchange knowledge on equal terms and learn from one another’s work
- build new collaborations across sectors
- identify opportunities to translate evidence into policy and practice
The event will be followed by a reception at the Pumphandle Social.
