S1E7 What Is The Evidence Telling Us?

The Sexual Violence Research Podcast

Throughout this podcast we’ve heard about many incredible programmes that have been taking place globally to prevent violence against women and violence against girls. But which of these interventions have proven most effective - what is the evidence telling us?

This was a major question at the heart of the What Works To Prevent Violence Against Women and Girls’ programme, and in this episode we explore its findings. We also discover why feminism needs to be the core value at the centre of all interventions, we hear the amazing success story of a study in Nicaragua called Candies In Hell, and we learn about the impact of conflict and war on violence against women and violence against girls.

Our guests are:

Rachel Jewkes, Executive Scientist, Research Strategy in the South African Medical Research Council Office of the President.

Manuel Contreras-Urbina, Senior Social Development Specialist for Latin America and the Caribbean on gender-based violence at the World Bank.

Mary Ellsberg, Founding Director of the Global Women's Institute at George Washington University.
