Workshop on Gender Violence
---------------------------
Hello,
One of the current projects of the International Centre for Reproduc-
tive Health (Belgium) concerns preliminary policy research on the is-
sue of violence against women in developing countries. The objective
of this research is to formulate strategies for prevention and inter-
vention by the health care sector of domestic violence in developing
countries.
We are now carrying out a desk study on reporting the situation of
domestic violence in developing countries, and we will prepare a pa-
per on health care sector strategies that will be discussed at a
workshop. This workshop has been planned from June 21 to June 23,
1999 and experts from Latin-America, Asia and Africa will be invited.
However, African organisations that focus on gender violence and the
health sector are not easy to find. Is there anybody who can recom-
mend experts or relevant organisations in this field?
All suggestions are welcome,
Yours sincerely,
Els Leye
