What you will study
Launched in 2006, the Gender, Violence and Health Centre (GVHC) at the School is a multi-disciplinary research group that works in partnership with local and international organisations around the world to carry out research on gender-based violence and health. The Centre aims to improve the health and well-being of populations, particularly women and girls, through action-oriented research on the extent, cause and consequences of gender-based violence.
The Researching Gender-Based Violence - Methods and Meaning course offered by London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine is intended for individuals who have an interest in research on GBV.
