Posted on May 29, 2017

During the last 16 Days of Activism, on Dec. 4, 2014, the IGWG GBV Task Force launched the first of an ongoing  series to explore the current state of research and practice on screening and responding to GBV in health care settings.  The Dec. 4 panel focused on “Setting the Stage: Asking Women about Violence and Responding Within Health Care Settings.”

The second panel, held on March 31, featured three speakers who shared their lessons and research/evaluation data from training health care providers to screen for GBV.
