Forced migrant women rising to tackle violence against women and girls in their community in Durban, South Africa
Jane is a Wellcome Trust Research Fellow in the Department of Psychology, University of Exeter. My overarching research focus is on prevention of violence against women and girls (VAWG).
I am currently interested in the co-design of VAWG prevention interventions. Specifically, I am interested in piecing together the triumphs and pitfalls of VAWG prevention intervention co-development processes, to enable us to understand how to best employ co-development. If we understand what works, and doesn’t work, in the processes of VAWG prevention intervention co-development, we have a greater chance of creating more beneficial interventions that are closely reflective of the beneficiaries’ lived realities/contexts; and ultimately increased potential of achieving VAWG prevention interventions that work.
