2nd WORKSHOP ON

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: DRIVERS AND POLICIES

Barcelona, October 1-2, 2025

The European Research Council (ERC) WomEmpower project and the Barcelona Institute of Economics (IEB) will host their 2nd Workshop on Violence Against Women: Drivers and Policies on October 1 and 2, 2025. The workshop aims to bring together original research that uses population-based data from a wide variety of sources (for example, hospital records; police records; or face-to-face survey interviews) and aims at better understanding which factors, policies, or interventions increase or decrease the risk of victimization or perpetration against women and/or female partners. Studies that identify the mechanisms driving IPV in high-income countries and the population subgroups most at risk of victimization in those countries will be prioritized. Research on low- and middle-income countries will also be considered. The accepted papers will be presented in contributed sessions. There will be two plenary sessions.
