Evaluation of a domestic violence training and support intervention in Palestinian primary care clinics in the west bank: a mixed method study

    Domestic violence (DV) is a violation of human rights and a major public health problem that damages the health of women and their families. In the occupied Palestinian territories, 29% of women have a lifetime exposure to intimate partner violence, the most prevalent form of DV.

    Despite the existence of national policies to prevent and respond to DV, implementation within the Palestinian primary health care system has been weak. The research team, including VISION researcher Professor Gene Feder, developed, piloted, and evaluated a system-level intervention, including training for health care providers and care pathways for women patients. The aim of the evaluation was to determine the feasibility and acceptability of the HEalthcare Responding to violence and Abuse (HERA) intervention.

    The adaptation of a previous (HERA) intervention was implemented in primary health care
    settings in Palestine, informed by stakeholder meetings, interviews with clinic managers and health care providers (HCP), facility-level readiness data, and findings of a previous pilot study. The training component of the intervention, delivered by the Palestinian Counseling Centre, included a train-the-trainer session, two clinic-based training sessions, and reinforcement sessions for front-line healthcare providers in four clinics.

    Healthcare providers were trained to ask about DV, give immediate support, and offer a referral to a nurse case manager. The care pathway beyond the case manager was either referral to a primary-care based psychologist or social worker or to a gender-based violence focal point external to the clinic that coordinated referrals to appropriate external services (e.g. police, safe house, psychologist, social worker).

    For the evaluation, the researchers employed a thematic analysis of post-intervention semi-structured interviews with HCP and trainers, and observations of training sessions and field notes. Provider Intervention Measure (PIM) data on changes in HCP attitudes and practice were analysed with descriptive statistics. Identification and referral rates for women disclosing DV 12 months before and 12 months after the intervention were obtained from clinic registries. The research team also developed a theory of change to triangulate the qualitative and quantitative data.

    Results showed that the training proved acceptable to HCPs and there was evidence of positive change in attitudes and readiness to engage with women patients experiencing DV. Compared to the year before the intervention, there was a reduction in the number of patients disclosing DV during the intervention and of referrals in three of the four clinics. This reduction may be explained by the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on clinic priorities, lack of time, persisting HCP fear about engaging with DV, and HCP rotation between clinics.

    The delivery of the training component of the HERA intervention within the Palestinian primary
    healthcare system proved partly feasible and was acceptable to HCPs, but contextual factors limited HCP implementation of the training in practice.

    Physical health conditions and intimate partner violence: A gendered issue

      Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a widespread global public health issue with serious and long-lasting consequences. While much research has focused on the mental health consequences of IPV, such as depression and PTSD, there is limited evidence on its association with physical health.

      This study explored how different types and number of types of IPV are linked to specific physical health conditions, and whether these associations differ between men and women. VISION researchers Dr Ladan Hashemi, Dr Anastasia Fadeeva and Professor Sally McManus, with Nadia Khan, City St George’s UoL, examined this using data from the 2014 Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey.

      Key findings include:

      • Women were more likely to experience IPV and a higher number of IPV types than men.
      • Women’s experience of lifetime and 12-month IPV were significantly associated with 12 and 11 different physical health conditions, respectively, while men’s experience of lifetime and 12-month IPV were significantly associated with 4 and 1 conditions, respectively.
      • Different types of IPV types were associated with different types of physical health condition, particularly among women.
      • A cumulative association between experiencing a greater number of IPV types and an increased risk of physical health conditions was evident for women but not for men.

      The research concludes that IPV is a gendered issue, with stronger associations between IPV and physical health evident in this data for women than for men. This may be because women are more likely to experience more and multiple types of IPV, more frequently, and more often with injury. Healthcare systems must recognise IPV as a priority issue, ensuring support is tailored to those affected.

      Recommendation

      • Healthcare systems need to address IPV as a priority health issue for the female population. Gender-informed approaches in IPV intervention strategies and healthcare provision are required. This means emphasising the development of IPV-responsive healthcare systems and comprehensive IPV curricula in medical and health training.

      Upcoming event: Weaving Stories of Peer Sexual Abuse 

        Insights from a youth co-created animation project

        Weaving Stories is a pilot animation project developed by County-Durham arts education company, Changing Relations, and funded via the VISION research consortium through the Small Projects Fund.

        The animation was co-produced with Secondary-aged students, survivors of peer sexual abuse, and an artistic team, to amplify young people’s voices on the theme of unwanted sexual behaviour and the culture that enables it. The students and young survivors shaped every aspect of the animation.

        An interdisciplinary Steering Group of academic researchers, creative practitioners, and child protection and sexual violence specialists from a North East school and Rape Crisis centre, were also involved in the project.

        With this animation and associated school based learning programme, Changing Relations seeks to influence knowledge, behaviour, and institutional change using the impactful animation as stimulus for reflection. Following this pilot project, VISION and Changing Relations have organised a one-hour webinar for UK policymakers and practitioners to:

        • Watch the co-created animation (20 minutes)
        • Hear young people’s perspectives on the key themes and co-production approach
        • Explore the animation’s potential impact on school cultures, disclosure, help-seeking, and victim-blaming attitudes
        • Engage in academic-informed analysis of trauma-informed safeguarding and youth-centred approaches to sexual violence prevention
        • Gain practical insights on using creative participatory approaches to engage young people in conversations about violence and abuse
        • Consider actionable recommendations for policy and practice
        • Contribute your reflections

        This webinar will be of interest to a wide range of professionals who work with adolescents and / or in violence-prevention. Educators, social workers, academics, and third sector, central and local government policy analysts and researchers in particular may be interested.

        There are two dates providing the option to choose between a more practice or policy oriented session:

        • Thursday 8th May 1-2pm for policymakers
        • Wednesday 14th May 3-4pm for practitioners

        United to End Violence Against Women and Girls: An Online Animated Campaign  

          Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a pressing issue in Iran, a Middle Eastern country marked by its patriarchal structure and systematic and pervasive gender discrimination. Educational programmes addressing this issue are scarce, and cultural barriers often hinder open discussion. The United to End Violence Against Women and Girls campaign aims to break this silence through a series of animated videos in Farsi and English and images designed to inform public discourse and to empower victims to seek support.

           The United to End Violence Against Women and Girls project was led by VISION researchers Ladan Hashemi and Sally McManus, in collaboration with colleagues from other UK universities including the University of Bristol, Goldsmiths University, Animation Research Centre at the University for the Creative Arts, and Leeds Beckett University. 

          They worked with an animation production team in Iran, a social media advisor, and two advisory groups. The advisory groups were Mehre Shams Afarid, an Iran-based non-governmental organisation (NGO), and IKWRO, a London-based charity providing services to women victims of violence from the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) region—to incorporate culturally specific insights.

          Although the project initially focused on Iran, engaging with the UK-based NGO revealed an interest in extending its reach. As a result, English subtitles were added to make the animations accessible to a wider audience. This collaboration helped the content resonate with audiences both in Iran and within the global diaspora community, particularly those from the MENA region.

          The animations are grounded in evidence from a survey of 453 women in Iran, which explored the manifestation of various forms of VAWG in Iran and women’s perspectives on how to eliminate it. The survey was designed by Fatima Babakhani, CEO of Mehre Shams Afarid.

          Key findings from participants’ open-ended responses to the survey showed that, despite structural inequalities and deeply ingrained societal, cultural, and religious norms that perpetuate VAWG, change is possible through education and legal reforms.

          As one survey participant noted: “Unfortunately, many still don’t understand what violence truly is. Raising awareness is the solution.”

          The first four United to End Violence Against Women and Girls campaign animations focus on coercive control, economic abuse, technology-facilitated abuse, and active bystander interventions, with two more animations in development.

          With guidance from an Iranian social media advisor, a digital strategy was developed to maximise the campaign’s impact. Instagram was chosen as the primary distribution platform, as it is the most widely used social media platform in Iran, with over 47 million users. The animations are also shared on YouTube to further extend the campaign’s reach.

          Influencers and women’s rights activists with followings from thousands to millions were partnered with to amplify the campaign’s reach. The online campaign officially launched 25th November, on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and Girls.

          By leveraging evidence-based content and strategic partnerships, we hope to spark meaningful conversations and drive change across Iran and the diaspora communities from the MENA region.

          Join us in raising awareness and advocating for change. Please follow and share the campaign links on your social media to help spread the message.

            Implications of changing domestic abuse measurement on the Crime Survey for England & Wales

              The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is making a major decision this month on the future of Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) Domestic abuse measurement and monitoring.

              Last year, ONS ran an experiment where half of the CSEW sample got the domestic abuse module used since 2005, and the other half got a new module that is not comparable with the previous one. ONS intend to move over entirely to the new module in the next data collection (2025/26).

              Loss of the existing module has major implications: it is world-leading, uses globally comparable items, and with trend data going back to 2005. Without consistently administered core items from that module, it will no longer be possible to:

              • Produce long-term trends over time in domestic abuse for England and Wales.
              • Group a decade of survey years together to have enough cases to robustly examine domestic abuse in particular regions, minoritised groups, and by other protected characteristics for many years. This is essential for understanding inequalities in violence and subsequent service contact, and whether these are changing.

              The new module is problematic for many reasons:

              • Is not a standardised measure, has undergone little validation or psychometric testing, and is not comparable with anything used previously or in any other country or study.  
              • It separates data collection between former and current partner based on relationship status at the time of the interview, not at the time of abuse. This distinction creates confusion for interpretation of analysis and may be misinterpreted. The distinction is also problematic for classification of casual and other relationship types.
              • The overhaul of the module was intended to align measurement with the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 definition, but it appears that domestic abuse as recognised by that Act cannot be identified by this module.

              We urgently recommend that before losing this world-leading time series and relying on an untested, not comparable, and flawed new approach to DA measurement in England and Wales, that ONS:

              1. Pause: continue the split-sample data collection for one more year.
              2. Test the new approach: fully compare data collected using the new and old modules data so the validity and utility of the new measures can be evaluated appropriately, and its impact on inequalities assessed.
              3. Publish these results publicly: and fully consult once stakeholders understand all the implications of having data collected in each way before the decision to roll out new data collection is finalised.
              4. With this information, then compare all options: such as maintaining some of the existing questions alongside adding new coercive control items. This straightforward approach would ensure the utility of the survey for national trends (in both England and Wales) and analysis of inequalities and minoritised groups, while also improving the measurement of coercive control.

              We urge others who feel similarly to contact ONS at CrimeStatistics@ons.gov.uk  or contact us at VISION_Management_Team@city.ac.uk if you would like to discuss.

              Note that ONS is planning a raft of further changes with similar implications for trends and analysis of minoritised groups, including:

              • Removal of the sexual victimisation module from next data collection (2025/26), with redevelopment at some future date.
              • Removal and redevelopment of the nature of partner abuse questions, which cover DA survivors service use and police contact and are essential to understanding whether some groups are underserved by services.

              These will further undermine continuity of data for trends and the ability to analyse minoritised groups or by protected characteristics.

              For researchers interested in combining CSEW waves to enable robust analysis of inequalities by protected characteristics and for minoritised groups, VISION researcher Niels Blom has published syntax: https://vision.city.ac.uk/news/new-possibilities-created-by-crime-survey-wave-integration/.

              Addressing abuse in teenage relationships

                This VISION Policy Brief highlights emerging findings and policy recommendations from ongoing research and stakeholder engagement into abuse in teenage relationships carried out by the UKPRP VISION consortium.

                Abuse—whether physical, emotional, or sexual—within young people’s relationships is often overlooked in both research and policy. The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) finds that young women aged 16 to 19 are more likely to experience domestic abuse than any other age group. Despite this high prevalence, this age group is less likely to be referred to support services. Furthermore, the CSEW does not cover individuals under the age of 16, leaving a major gap in understanding of prevalence.

                Key findings:

                • Lack of consistent terminology and recognition – various terms are used to describe abuse in teenage relationships, including ‘teen dating violence’, ‘adolescent domestic abuse’, ‘teenage relationship abuse’ and ‘youth intimate partner violence’. Both the workshop with young people and the roundtables identified that young people generally do not associate the behaviours they experience with any of these terms and are more likely to use language like ‘toxic relationships’.
                • Very limited UK research on risk and protective factors for under 16s – our rapid review found that in the last 10 years there was only one UK academic study that looked into risk and protective factors for abuse in teenage relationships for those aged under 16.
                • Importance of schools and communities – unlike adult domestic abuse, which is largely experienced in private, abuse experienced in teenage relationships is more likely to occur outside of the home, especially within schools.
                • Very difficult to measure extent of issue – due to the current Home Office definition of domestic abuse there is very limited and consistently recorded administrative data collected on those under 16 who are experiencing abuse.
                • Need to take a more radical review of systems – our discussion highlighted the difficulty of addressing abuse in teenage relationships within the current systems.

                Recommendations for change:

                • Develop a national strategy – prevention and early intervention
                • Explore support for young people – victims and those carrying out harmful behaviours
                • Commission research into under 16s – including those with lived experience and taking a whole systems approach
                • Improve measurement in under 16s
                • Agree terminology and produce an associated education programme

                VAWG data dashboard consultation highlights usefulness of tool

                  The UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) developed a prototype violence against women and girls (VAWG) data dashboard in 2022. The webpages presented statistics and charts on violence against women and girls in England and Wales, drawing on multiple sources. However, due to reprioritisation at ONS, maintenance of the dashboard stopped and as of April 2024 it was no longer accessible.

                  VISION developed a consultation to ascertain the usefulness of a VAWG data dashboard as a result. The call was open from March to May 2024, and 102 responses were received. Most participants responded in their capacity as individuals (n=61), although 25 stated that they were responding on behalf of an organisation and four on behalf of a group. Some participants both responded as an individual and on behalf of an organisation or group.

                  Consultation participants responded as people from across a variety of roles and sectors. The
                  most commonly cited were working in research or education (n=40) and in policy or planning
                  (n=28), 27 people responded as someone with lived experience and 13 as members of the
                  public. The remainder comprised those in service provision (n=17), a campaign role (n=10) or
                  some other capacity (8).

                  Consultation results

                  Many participants had heard of the data dashboard before the VISION consultation (n=51), although 28 reported that they had not. Of those who had heard of the dashboard before, most had made use of it (n=39).

                  Most participants reported that having a dashboard that brought together data on violence
                  and abuse would help them either ‘somewhat’ (n=12) or ‘a lot’ (n=39).

                  Participants were asked what they found to be useful about the data dashboard:

                  • Data discovery
                  • Finding data and finding it faster
                  • Breakdowns and local profiles
                  • Comparisons
                  • Authoritative context
                  • Source material

                  Participants were asked for their thoughts on the limitations or what was missing from the dashboard:

                  • Wider coverage in relation to topics (health, disability, suicide, law, family courts, policy), types of violence and abuse (homicide, forced marriage, sexual violence), and particular groups (men, perpetrators)
                  • Deeper context in terms of much more nuanced contextual discussion of what the data means, ‘data without context is misleading’
                  • Critical interrogation such as the highlight of methodological limitations
                  • Interactive functionality with more scope for further breakdowns by local authority areas and police forces for example
                  • Improved search function
                  • Positive action such as a ‘section about work being done to support victims/reduce cases’
                  • Human stories meaning to go beyond numbers and to tell the human stories that underpin them

                  Recommendations

                  Through this consultation, approximately 100 people told VISION that a VAWG data dashboard is
                  something that they valued having and wish to have again. These included people with lived
                  experience of violence and abuse, people working in health, justice, specialist and other
                  services, researchers and academics across disciplines, and members of the wider public.

                  A violence and abuse data dashboard is needed because it has:

                  • Symbolic value: indicating that violence against women and girls matters to the
                    Government, and
                  • Practical value: as a functional and easy to use tool facilitating access to high
                    quality data spanning a range of types of violence, groups, areas and years.

                  In April 2024, ONS’ prototype VAWG data dashboard was withdrawn due to reprioritisation of
                  resources within that organisation. Since then, a new Government has come into office with a
                  stated mission to halve violence against women and girls within the decade. How progress towards this commitment is monitored will be essential to its success. General population health and crime surveys, alongside other data sources, will be key and that includes a revitalised, fit for purpose VAWG data dashboard. To instill trust and collective investment in this goal, a public platform for transparent monitoring is needed and the dashboard could be an effective, useful tool.

                  Next steps

                  VISION is a cross-sectoral consortium of academics and government and service partners
                  working with UK data on violence and abuse. We are aware that further development and relaunching of a data dashboard will require a collaborative effort from relevant departments of
                  state, data providers (not least ONS) and external funding. Drawing on our work in this area
                  we aim to coordinate this effort, with three initial objectives:

                  • Resource: Identify partners and funding source(s)
                  • Define: Agree clear definitions to best capture and monitor subgroup and temporal
                    trends in VAWG and violent crime in the population
                  • Design and test a revised violence and abuse data dashboard with people from
                    across sectors

                    The European Network on Gender and Violence (ENGV) is an interdisciplinary, international network supporting exchange and collaboration among researchers, scholars, and professionals. Each year, the ENGV hosts a conference that provides a forum for current research related to gender-based violence (GBV). The annual event provides an excellent opportunity for many of the VISION researchers to present their findings and to engage and connect with others.

                    This year, the ENGV conference was held at Vilnius University, Lithuania, from June 26-28. Eleven VISION / VASC colleagues attended and shared their GBV research in either a presentation or a poster. VISION GBV topics included measurement, intersectionality, migration and forced sex and marriage.

                    Presentations:

                    • Niels Blom and Vanessa Gash, The effects of intimate partner violence and abuse on job loss and time off work
                    • Ruth Weir and Sally McManus, Findings from the interdisciplinary VISION consortium: Measuring violence to reduce its impact
                    • Jana Kriechbaum, Normative Borders: The paradox around insecure-migrant women experiencing intimate partner violence in post-Brexit Britain
                    • Hannah Manzur, Inequality Dimensions of Violence: Disparities and Disproportionalities in Victimisation and Fear by Gender, Ethnicity and Migrant-status
                    • Ladan Hashemi and Sally McManus, The Multifaceted Nature of VAWG in LMI Countries: The Case of Forced Sex and Forced Marriage in Iran

                    Report launch: A transformative justice framework to address adolescent relationship abuse

                      This event is in the past.

                      Despite a general awareness of the prevalence of harm young people are experiencing in their relationships, there is little data and evidence supporting the prevention of and responses to such harm through the adoption of a survivor centred transformative justice approach.

                      Talia Kensit, founder and former CEO of Youth Realities, explored adolescent domestic abuse as a Fellow with the Churchill Fellowship, a UK charity which supports individual UK citizens to follow their passion for change, through learning from the world and bringing that knowledge back to the UK.

                      Her travels and research resulted in Prevention, Intervention and Healing: Addressing Adolescent Relationship Abuse, a framework of best practice upheld by the theory of transformative justice. It is Talia’s recommendation that in order to address the epidemic of harm experienced by young people in their intimate relationships, we must implement polices and practice through prevention, intervention and healing.

                      The Violence & Society Centre at City St George’s, UoL, and the UK Prevention Research Partnership VISION consortium are pleased to host Talia’s Churchill report launch on Wednesday 6 November from 4 – 6 pm at City St George’s, UoL, Clerkenwell campus.

                      Talia will also be joined by:

                      •  Ruth Weir, City St George’s, UoL, Taking a collaborative approach to understanding more about abuse in teenage relationships
                      • Christine Barter, University of Central Lancashire, Qualitative findings looking at the nature and impact of IPVA in young people’s relationships
                      • Jeff Temple, University of Texas, Dating violence prevention program: implementation and effectiveness

                      Seating, drinks and nibbles will be provided.
