Home > Events > Pigs for Peace: Livestock Microfinance Programs Impact Conflict-Related Trauma

The IGWG organizes regular in-person and virtual events where members from around the world can learn from and connect with each other. These events may be thematic, such as a focus on recent research in the GBV field, or dedicated to capacity building, like how to use film for social and behavior change communication. Our annual IGWG Plenary creates space for members to meet in person and provide feedback on the network as a whole each year.

Presentations and recordings of IGWG events are available online so you can find past events you missed or want to revisit. The presentation materials are also available.

On May 5, 2014, Dr. Nancy Glass, Associate Director of Johns Hopkins Center for Global Health, shared findings from an evaluation of a livestock microfinance program in DRC, including data on reproductive health outcomes. In the context of multiple adversities, women are demonstrating resilience in rebuilding their futures, through participation in microfinance programs. In addition to the economic benefits of microfinance, there is evidence to suggest that it is an effective vehicle for improving health. The study presents findings on livestock/animal assets as a sustainable approach to reduce the health effects associated with exposure to traumatic events in women in post-conflict settings.
