Season 2 Episode 6:
How do we ensure research in the area of violence against women and violence against girls leads to meaningful change? Research for impact is often neglected due to a number of factors, including lack of time and funding. In this episode, we explore why research uptake should be made a priority and how to go about putting together an effective impact strategy. Plus we meet researchers whose projects are a positive example of how research impact can be achieved. Our guests are: Ana Flávia d´Oliveira, a researcher in women's health and gender violence, currently working at the Department of Medicine at the University of São Paulo in Brazil. Diana Arango, Gender-Based Violence global lead for the World Bank Group Your host is: Elizabeth Dartnall, Executive Director, SVRI Find out more at svri.org.
