Please join us for the virtual public talk to launch the Special Issue on “Global Healthcare Systems and Violence Against Women and Girls” in Health Sociology Review featuring panellists Mandy Hughes, Louise Whitaker, Marsha Hinds Myrie, and Anya A.A. Lorde hosted by Dr. Karen Soldatic, Canada Excellence Research Chair (CERC) in Health Equity and Community Wellbeing. This event is free and open to the public.

Abstract: “Globally, there are examples of significant advocacy and investment by governments, advocates and services to develop national plans to end gender-based violence for women and their children. While these national plans and frameworks are critically important, research forms part of the critical next steps to mobilise the intentions of these national plans into policy and practice. To support the work occurring across diverse national policy landscapes, the aim of this special issue was to assemble a collection of scholarly work that contributes to our understanding of minority and marginalised women’s access to healthcare following gender-based violence. The call sought to garner a collective body of scholarship that offered the potential to move our understanding of healthcare accessibility for minority and marginalised women experiencing violence forward theoretically, empirically, and practically. Each article in this special issue recognises the role the healthcare system can play in the early intervention and prevention of violence against women and girls. The collective set of papers may provide some of the necessary evidence to advance healthcare policy and strategy, programs and interventions, that identify and respond to violence against women and girls in various contexts, including programs, policy and supports that promote healing and recovery.”
