Supporting victims of gender based violence
Gender based violence (GBV) is globally recognised as a violation of human rights. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), 30% of women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime. Our research has improved support for victims-survivors of gender based violence - and led to changes in policy and healthcare practice around the world.

Social research in action
Innovative social research methods
Nura Aabe started her journey at Bristol with an MSc in Psychology of Education. Now a PhD student, Nura drew on her personal experiences to set-up her own charity Autism Independence. Nura’s life mission is to raise awareness of autism in ethnic minority groups, where it has huge stigma. Her community organisation Autism Independence will help marginalised families affected by autism, including her own.
