Increased the evidence on domestic violence attitudes and responses in relation to faith and religio-cultural socialisation working with both men and women

  • Completed three different research projects in Ethiopia and the UK, including a study with men co-led with EMIRTA Research, Training and Development, and studies with ethnic minorities and service providers supported by community-based researchers in the UK.
  • Developed interactive, visual and other innovative research methods to adapt to the conditions and needs of the local populations, achieve more inclusivity and benefit research participants in real-time.
  • Our study with Ethiopian men used a novel interactive survey approach that employed domestic violence scenes drawn by a local Ethiopian artist to incite the men’s reactions and to help them imagine deterrence mechanisms in real time, thus serving both research and intervention aims.
  • The study with men showed that they appreciated both the innovative research method used and being included in research on domestic violence, as they had felt excluded in the past.
