Greentree II: Violence against Women and Girls, and HIV

Compiled and edited by Lori Heise and Elizabeth McGrory, this publication synthesizes the discussions and conclusions of a three-day expert consultation on the links between HIV and violence against women and girls (VAWG).

STRIVE convened the consultation with support from WHO, UNICEF, UNAIDS and the Greentree Foundation in order to:

- examine the existing evidence base on the links between VAWG and HIV and identify critical knowledge gaps - develop a conceptual model that captures the potential pathways through which violence influences HIV-related outcomes - propose a research agenda to resolve outstanding questions -suggest priority actions for policy, programmes and research
