How Many More Women? tackles violence against women, one of the most pressing issues of our time, which has been prevalent for decades and unfortunately and still persists across the world today.
Estimates published by WHO indicate that globally about 1 in 3 (30%) of women worldwide have been subjected to either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime.
Worldwide, almost one third (27%) of women aged 15-49 years who have been in a relationship report that they have been subjected to some form of physical and/or sexual violence by their intimate partner. The health sector has an important role to play to provide comprehensive health care to women subjected to violence, and as an entry point for referring women to other support services they may need.
Our panel boasts four experts who will share their experiences and insights on this critical issue: Keina Yoshida, an international human rights lawyer, Jennifer Robinson, an Australian human rights lawyer, Betsy Stanko OBE, an American criminologist academic and researcher, and Winnie M Li, an author and activist who survived a violent assault, will come together for a powerful and insightful discussion.
Keina Yoshida has worked with numerous organisations around the world to promote women’s rights and is an expert in international human rights law. Jennifer Robinson’s focus on gender and sexual orientation has helped to advance the rights of women and marginalized groups, while Betsy Stanko’s extensive research on violence against women and the criminal justice system has been described as feminist criminology. Finally, Winnie M Li, a survivor of sexual violence, has become a prominent voice in the fight against it and is the author of the critically acclaimed novel, “Dark Chapter”.
During the event, our panellist’s will discuss the challenges women face when seeking justice, the need for reforms in the legal system, and share their experiences and insights on the issue of violence against women and what can be done to combat it.
