UniSAFE – Gender-based violence and institutional responses: Building a knowledge base and operational tools to make universities and research organizations safe 

The research project UniSAFE will produce robust knowledge on gender-based violence (GBV) in universities and research organizations and translate the knowledge into operational tools and recommendations for universities, research organizations and policymakers to reduce GBV. UniSAFE examines the mechanisms of GBV, its determinants, antecedents and consequences. A holistic 7P model, covering prevalence, prevention, protection, prosecution, provision of services, partnerships and policy, is used to collect and analyze data on different levels.
