Sobre a conferência:
“Law is both a social determinant of health and a remedy for addressing health inequalities.” Professor Dame Hazel Genn
Violence against women and children (VAWC) is a global challenge. The health impacts of VAWC are far-reaching. Violence against women – especially intimate ‘partner’/perpetrator violence and sexual violence – is a major public health problem and a violation of human rights.
This conference will explore the intersection of VAWC, health and justice and the impacts upon women and children. Through a critical lens, we will hear from experts by experience (victim-survivors), human rights activists, professionals from NGOs, education, health, medicine, law and academia from across the globe.
Speakers will explore the intersection of health and justice, specifically in relation to the health and human rights of women and children, in the context of violence, abuse and trauma. They will discuss approaches to effective progressive safety and protection of these groups, in a culture permeated by inequalities including misogyny, racism, ageism, ableism and human rights violations. Attendees will leave with increased knowledge and skills to help support mothers/women, children, legal, health, medical and social care professionals to think critically about child protection, human rights, VAWC and the health and wellbeing of women and children”.
