New paper on violence against women during Covid-19

I have published a study in World Development looking at the trends in violence against women during the pandemic, with a particular focus on low- and middle-income countries. The paper is titled "COVID-19 and violence against women: current knowledge, gaps, and implications for public policy". It is joint research conducted under the project COVID-19, social distancing and violence against women in Brazil (BRAVE), that I led in partnership with the research group Brazilian Women in Economics (hosted by the University of Sao Paulo), and which was funded by the UKRI Agile Covid-19 GCRF and Newton Fund initiative (grant number EP/V029088/1). A complimentary copy of our paper can be downloaded through this link before 06 January 2024, or later with institutional access through this permanent link.
