The team hope that the research we generate contributes to making visible women's experiences and contributing to prevention and response strategies that will make the lives of women and girls healthier and safer.

High rates of violence against women and girls continue globally, the UN released which indicates that every day globally, 137 women and girls are killed by intimate partners or family members, one every ten minutes. www.unwomen.org/en/news-stor...

Drawing from pilot and ongoing research related to the ERC Coercive Injustice (GENCOERCTRL) project, Aisling delivered a talk titled: Implicit and Explicit Control: Women’s Experience of Contemporary Paramilitarism in the Context of Domestic Abuse'.

@aislingswaine.bsky.social and @cjnicoson.bsky.social's paper questions how ‘continuum of violence’ helps understand violence against women in studying conflict and gender. They aim to enhance clarity on the meaning and use of continuums and explore implications of this for the #WPS agenda.

The paper shared preliminary research from the @erc.europa.eu project, using phenomenology to extend our understanding of women's lived experience of fear, threat and harm between coercive control in intimate relationships and wider social control strategies of non-state armed actors.
