Videorecording in Spanish of the event
听
Violence Against Women (VAW) has a profound impact, immediately and over time, on all community members. The听Wilson听Center's Latin American Program and the Inter-American Development Bank have joined together in a series of studies that shed new light on this serious issue, including the unique vulnerabilities of indigenous women facing intrafamily violence, the profile of women who are in jail, how violence is transmitted across generations, and good practices to prevent VAW and better support survivors.听
These insights suggest new and important ways to address the violence and reduce its impact on individuals and society in general. On听Thursday, July 19, 2018,听we held听a discussion with experts about the impacts of VAW and innovative ways in which states and policymakers have responded.
