VAWnet has a new special collection–Ending Violence Against Women Globally: International Policies, Programs and Approaches. What a fantastic compilation of resources on prevention and response to gender-based violence around the world.

February 6th is WHO’s International Day of Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation. Find information about the day, and fact sheets about FGM at WHO’s site. (Hat tip: NSVRC)

I missed this offering when it was live, but happily for us, it’s been archived: The Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation held a webinar in November, Best Practices to Combat Child Trafficking. The archived webinar also includes downloadable slide decks from each of the 3 speakers, as well as a nice looking resource page.

November 25th begins 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence. From the site: Participants chose the dates November 25- International Day Against Violence Against Women-and December 10- International Human Rights Day- in order to symbolically link violence against women and human rights and to emphasize that such violence is a violation of human rights. This 16-day period [...]

Check out the newest applied research paper over at VAWnet: New Language, Old Problem: Sex Trafficking of American Indian Women and Children by Alexandra (Sandi) Pierce and Suzanne Koepplinger.

If you know me, you know I am very interested in the business aspect of the work we do, including the cost of violence itself. You can check out the clinical guide on the subject if it’s of interest to you, as well. I am adding a new report to it today: The IOM has [...]

The Nobel Women’s Initiative invites you to join us online for a Women’s Day of Action to End Sexual Violence in Conflict on May 26, 2011. The day of action will target governments encouraging them to give this topic the attention it deserves — ensuring an end to impunity and supporting survivors in their efforts to heal and rebuild [...]

For the next couple weeks, with so few online offers taking place live, I will be highlighting resources that might be helpful to forensic clinicians and allied professionals. Let’s start with one of my regularly visited sources for information, VAWNet. They have a number of special collections available, but the one I want to highlight [...]

I’m on my way to Dallas for the Conference on Crimes Against Women, but before I go, I wanted to post a very powerful TED presentation by Sunitha Krishnan on fighting sex slavery. It’s tough to watch some portions, but it’s powerful and under 15 minutes. She talks bluntly about the realities of trafficking, but [...]

Last week, the US Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Law held hearings on child prostitution and sex trafficking in the US. Among the speakers was Rachel Lloyd from GEMS, Anita Alvarez, the elected state’s attorney from Cook County, IL (the 2nd largest prosecutor’s office in the country, FYI), and Senator Ron [...]
