New Online Course - Using Data to End Violence Against Women
Date:
A new online course for public servants and policymakers on using data to end violence against women is now available, launched by the UN Women/WHO Joint Programme on Violence Against Women Data and Measurement, in collaboration with Apolitical. The free-to-access course is offered on Apolitical’s peer-to-peer learning platform, an online community for people working in government and closely supporting government.
By completing this new course, public servants and policymakers will learn about methodologies and data's vital role in addressing violence against women. The four-part course covers:
- What is considered violence against women data, and why is it essential?
- Types of data, collection methods, and considerations for managing and reporting, in particular, related to prevalence surveys and administrative data.
- Underreported and under-researched knowledge gaps related to data capturing diverse women’s experiences of violence – such as older women, women with disabilities, and migrant and indigenous women.
- Methodological challenges and innovations regarding collecting data, such as in times of crisis (e.g., during the COVID-19 pandemic and in humanitarian emergencies), as well as ethical and safety concerns.
