different countries.
This conference will provide an excellent
opportunity for
participants to share their knowledge, experiences and
insights about
violence against women and the various social responses that
have
been developed to combat it. Exchanges between participants will
make
it possible to refine our understanding of how different
social
contexts of violence and inequality impact designated groups of
women
and as well as the strengths and limitations of government
and
community initiatives to address their specific
needs.
Presentations will deal with the following
topics:
* Violence against women in different social
contexts and living
conditions
* Social responses
to violence against women
* Major debates and issues
regarding the social responses that
have been developed to address violence
against women.
This event will enable participants to develop a deeper
and more
comprehensive understanding of violence against women as well
as
build and consolidate collaborations between research circles
and
practitioners and across nations.
