Did you know that worldwide, nearly one in three women have been subjected to physical and or sexual violence by an intimate partner or non-partner? How can we improve this terrifying statistic for future generations?

This episode of Next Generation Research is all about Dr Jenevieve Mannell. She is an Associate Professor in UCL’s Institute for Global Health, where she specialises in the prevention of violence in the world’s high-prevalence settings.

Join Giles Yeo, as we look at Jenevieve's current research project, based in Samoa, which focuses on researching prevention-based strategies for targeting high rates of intimate-partner violence.

Over one in three women in Samoa have experienced violence just in the last year. Jenevieve, along with research colleagues in Samoa, is working with communities to understand the causes of violence and, what can be done to stop it.
