Innovations in strengthening health systems preparedness to address violence against women: learnings from providing accessible, quality, and gender-responsive services LSHTM Gender Violence & Health Theme: Health systems and service response to violence
Despite increasing recognition of violence against women (VAW) as a public health problem, health systems have been slow to track, anticipate, respond and prevent such violence. However, since the launch of the World Health Organization (WHO) clinical and policy guidelines for responding to VAW, several countries have implemented or used their principles in low resource settings, adapting them to their health systems and political contexts. This webinar presents findings, challenges and lessons learned from these efforts.
