UNDERSTANDING FGM
A new learning resource has been developed by the University of Nottingham School of Health Sciences. One of our Network Leads, Professor Julie McGarry (Division of Nursing, School of Health Sciences at the University of Sheffield), has contributed to this resource. Within this resource, women share their experiences of survivorship following FGM and discuss the culture factors associated with FGM. The resource can be viewed here.
ONLINE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: A FOUR NATIONS STUDY
ONLINE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: A FOUR NATIONS STUDY
New report from Professor Olga Jurasz's study, Online violence against women: A Four Nations study. The project was funded through the Open University's Open Societal Challenges programme, and was designed and led by Professor Olga Jurasz. The project is the first comprehensive, large scale and empirical study examining the phenomenon of OVAW across the UK. It empirically examines the scale, impact, and societal attitudes towards OVAW across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It also investigates societal attitudes towards online safety, online behaviours, law and policy responses towards violence against women (online and offline) and public views on responsibilities for preventing and responding to OVAW. Uniquely, the project also looks into men’s experiences of witnessing and reacting to OVAW.
Professor Olga Jurasz presented findings from this study for a ShIVAR webinar. The recording of this can be accessed here.
