No Safe Place: A Lifetime of Violence for Conflict-Affected Women and Girls in South Sudan by Women's Protection and Empowerment

The What Works to Prevent Violence against Women and Girls research project is focused on building an evidence base on how to prevent and respond to violence against women and girls in conflict and humanitarian crises. As part of that project, the Global Women’s Institute at the George Washington University, the International Rescue Committee, and CARE International UK collaborated on the first large-scale research study of violence against women and girls (VAWG) in several areas of South Sudan impacted by war and conflict. In this episode, Dr. Mary Ellsberg, Founding Director of the Global Women’s Institute of the George Washington University discussed the key findings from the research: the pervasive rates of VAWG, common forms of violence, and the relationship between experiences of conflict and VAWG.
