Understanding the impacts of gender policies to achieve equality for women.
At the Gender, Violence and Policy Lab, we study everyday violence against women to shape stronger policies and societal change — breaking the silence on these overlooked topics.
Our mission is to bring everyday violence against women to the forefront of political science, so we can inform policy and make a difference in women’s lives.

Why this work matters
Given the current backlash against feminism and retrenchment of women’s rights, research on gender and policy is more important than ever. Our hope is that our work elevates policies that help women to recognize and escape abusive relationships and achieve gender equality in all of society.
