Presentación

This workshop is financed by the ERC Advanced Grant (2023-2028) WomEmpower. The WomEmpower project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon Europe  research and innovation programme (grant agreement No 101096525)”.

The European Research Council (ERC) WomEmpower project and the Barcelona Institute of Economics (IEB) will host their 1^st Workshop on Violence Against Women: Drivers and Policies on October 23 and 24 2024. The aim of the workshop is to bring together original research that uses population-based data from a wide variety of sources (for example, hospital records; police records; or face-to-face survey interviews) and aims at better understanding which factors, policies, or interventions increase or decrease the risk of victimization or perpetration against women and/or female partners. Studies that identify the mechanisms driving IPV in high-income countries, as well as the population subgroups most at risk of victimization in those countries will be prioritized. Research on low- and middle-income countries will also be considered.

The accepted papers will be presented in contributed sessions and there will be two plenary sessions.
