The COVID-19 pandemic corresponded with a rise in domestic violence cases around the world. Policymakers are looking for ways to support survivors and reduce the incidence of this form of violence. Could better equipping state institutions, including the police, to respond more consistently and effectively to cases of violence against women be a solution?
The Governance, Crime, and Conflict Initiative’s (GCCI) upcoming webinar, Combating Violence Against Women through State Institutions: Emerging Evidence and Implications for Practice
[link removed]
, will look at evidence from randomized evaluations conducted in India to help address this question.
This is the second webinar in a series showcasing emerging results and policy lessons from the first three years of GCCI. In 2017, J-PAL’s Crime and Violence Initiative

and Governance Initiative

and IPA's Peace & Recovery Program

jointly launched GCCI to produce new research on effective policies to promote peace and good governance, reduce crime, and support individuals and communities recovering from conflict. Supported by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, GCCI has funded almost 100 randomized evaluations to date.
During this webinar, panelists will share evidence from two GCCI-funded randomized evaluations conducted in India that measure the effectiveness of different approaches taken by the police to tackle the issue of violence against women. They will also discuss the implications of this new research for evidence-informed decision-making in India and other contexts. A short Q&A session with the audience will follow the panel discussion.
We hope you and others in your network will be able to join us.
