Violence Across Generations: What we know and where do we go?
This global webinar, hosted by the International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (ISPCAN) in partnership with the Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI), will feature assistant professor HB Franchino-Olsen.
About
This webinar will focus on interpersonal violence, which is the second-leading cause of lost healthy life-years in South Africa.
Interpersonal violence includes:
- abuse of children by caregivers and other adult authority figures
- peer violence and bullying in childhood and adolescence
- intimate partner violence in adolescence and adulthood
- forms of violence such as sexual harassment, exploitation and abuse, armed robbery and physical assault within a community
To understand the prevalence, mechanisms, and interrupters of intergenerational transmission of violence within communities and families, the Interrupt Violence team conducted a three-generational follow-up study of previously interviewed adolescents in Mpumalanga, South Africa, alongside their children aged 6-17 and former caregivers.
