This course introduces participants from the health care sector to gender based violence (GBV), including global epidemiology of GBV, health outcomes, seminal research, policy and ethical guidelines, and clinical best practices for GBV prevention, support and management.
After taking the course, students will be able to:
Module 1 – Epidemiology and Health Impact
GBV comes in a variety of forms, each with health consequences for the survivor. An understanding of these issues helps inform a comprehensive and multisectorial response in preventing and responding to GBV. Case study will provide an in-depth view of these issues in India.
Module 2 – Integrating GBV in the health sector: Screening & Support
Recognition of the health impact of GBV has led
to calls to address GBV within the health sector. What is the evidence?
What are international best practices? What challenges must be addressed
to sustain a GBV response in clinical settings? Case study provides an in-depth look the implementation of a
hospital-based intervention program in India.
Module 3 – Clinical Care for GBV Survivors
Caring for GBV survivors requires compassionate,
confidential and non-discriminatory clinical assessment. Competent
medical and forensic examination along with appropriate documentation is
essential.
Module 4 – Psychosocial Support for GBV Survivors
Support for GBV survivors extends beyond
clinical exam and assessment. Safety planning, harm reduction and access
to psychosocial support must be established. Case study describes a promising approach for
community-based prevention and support in India.
Module 5 – Research, Policy, Practice and Prevention
GBV research has unique challenges. Ethical considerations are inherent. Policy plays a role in
both practice and prevention. What community-based strategies exist for
GBV prevention and intervention, and what evidence exists to support these?
Supplemental Case Studies
In this section, special populations and
programs are highlighted. These include
violence in humanitarian settings, adolescents, young men, sex workers, human
trafficking, and domestic settings.
Child marriage in India and an integrated GBV/HIV intervention program
in Uganda will be examined. We’ll
highlight the work from Pigs for Peace
and the CEHAT Dislaassa Crisis Centre.
This
course is an in-depth introduction to gender based violence (GBV) in India with
an emphasis on ensuring a strong health sector response to GBV, and teaching
key competencies for social workers, physicians, nurses, midwives, community
health workers, counselors and other health care workers. The course outlines
existing data on the global epidemiology of leading forms of GBV and the
evidence linking GBV to poor health, with a focus on sexual/reproductive health
including HIV. Participants will learn the state of the science for
integrating GBV response within the health sector, including screening, its
challenges, strategies, and guidelines for implementation in a wide range of
heath delivery settings. You will learn the components of a comprehensive
clinical assessment, treatment and management of a GBV survivor. We will also
discuss strategies for psychosocial support and safety planning. In
addition, we provide a review of the challenges, ethics and best practices in
GBV-related research as well as review the policy context of GBV
including laws and practices that enable (or undermine) access to justice for
survivors. This
course provides a strong grounding in both epidemiology and clinical
application of current evidence on GBV to allow participants to develop an
evidence-based response to GBV in local communities and clinic settings.
To supplement this core content, we provide case studies that provide applied
examples of course material with relevance to India and other resource-limited
settings. With this optional material, participants can delve further
into specific GBV topics, cutting edge research, and unique populations
including adolescents, young men, women who trade sex or are trafficked for
exploitation, and those in humanitarian/conflict settings.
