Findings towards a life free of violence for all women
Discussion panel
The Igarapé Institute, with support from Uber, carried out an analysis of evaluations looking into policies, interventions and initiatives focused on confronting violence against women. The goal of this report is to contribute evidence and relevant findings for decision makers and those who design public policies. This analysis will be presented during this panel, with commentary from other experts in interventions around gender and violence, to address what works, and what does not, from the Latin American experience.
