Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Research at Manchester Metropolitan:
The GBV Research team conducts leading research globally and influences national and international policies. This opportunity is to work in an established, exciting, and vibrant team situated within the School of Nursing and Public Health. The team is multi-disciplinary and adopts creative methodologies whilst embracing co-production with people who have lived experience, with a strong focus on intersectionality.
Our policy and academic influence is widespread, as these examples indicate. We worked with the Domestic Abuse Commissioner to produce recommendations for the Domestic Abuse Oversight Mechanism. Work by our team has seen the recognition of Smart Practice, informing the National Police Chief’s Council Homicide Prevention Framework. We recently completed an innovative study, in partnership with Durham University and University of Birmingham, aimed at understanding sexual violence in higher education, particularly among minoritised groups. Our three-year ERSC HALT project included outputs focusing on minoritised victims and perpetrators. An ongoing study focuses on Analysis of Child Practice Reviews. Internationally, we have partners throughout Africa, with recent focus on education for women from the lowest economic backgrounds in South Africa.
