Girls’ economic wellbeing is critical to their overall wellbeing and safe transitions to adulthood. Social protection can turn the tide for adolescent girls by allowing families to invest in their health and education. There is particular promise in integrated social protection, such as the combination of cash transfers linked to additional services or programming. Open to the public, this event will feature a presentation of a systematic review on the impact of social protection on adolescent girls, case studies on successful cash-plus programs, and a panel discussion between government representatives, bi-laterals, multi-laterals, and researchers. The event is co-hosted by the Population Council’s GIRL Center, UNICEF, and the Cash Transfer and IPV Research Collaborative.

Launch: Intersections between Violence against Children and Violence against Women - Global Research Priorities
UNICEF, WHO, and the SVRI
13 March, 2024 10:00 AM EST
Join UNICEF, WHO, and the SVRI, for the launch of the publication “Intersections between violence against children and violence against women: Global research priorities”. There is a growing global recognition that violence against women and violence against children, intersect in different ways. Establishing research priorities that focus on the intersections that exist between these two forms of violence is important to help advance our understanding of how to address these intersections in a more structured way and help measure progress to fill evidence gaps. Produced jointly by UNICEF, the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Human Reproduction Programme (HRP) and the Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI), this report describes the process adopted to determine the priorities for research on the intersections between violence against children and violence against women, and covers the top 10 research questions identified. During this webinar we will be discussing the report briefs and exploring insights from partners who work at the intersection of these two forms of violence.
