Montreal, CanadaThe
International Conference Violence Against Women: Diversifying
Social
Responses will bring together researchers, practitioners, policy
makers and
students from 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.
