Here at the @EVEProjectUCL we've been exploring structural and contextual drivers of IPV globally and risk factors for #ViolenceAgainstWomen in high prevalence settings. Check this 🧵 for some of our key findings ⬇️
[1/8] 🧵As part of @EVEProjectUCL, we have been trying to understand why women in certain countries are at an increased risk of experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). One factor that stands out is #colonialism 🌏

🚨Our new Systematic review #preprint assesses the impacts of #climatechange mitigation & adaptation on #mentalhealth in low-and-middle-income countries. Our findings suggest potential benefits but the evidence is limited & mixed 🧵1/

Biggest study to date to look on a rather neglected topic in low income settings shows an increasing prevalence of early and premature menopause, in particular in sub-Saharan Africa and South/Southeast Asia. where we also see a decline of the mean age at menopause

Using 302 (!) standardised household surveys from 1986 to 2019, we estimate trends in the prevalence of premature and early menopause in 76 LMICs. And thanks to the genius of
@alisongemmill
we use SMAM techniques for truncated data to estimate the mean age at menopause before 50

⁉️Are pre and early (<45) #menopause increasing in prevalence in LMICs? Secular trends in premature and early menopause in low-income and middle-income countries gh.bmj.com/content/8/6/e0123… with the brilliant @Lolabear88 and @alisongemmill. @LSE_ID @LSEGlobalHealth
Chuffed that this paper is finally out! It was a pleasure working with @tizianaleone and @alisongemmill on this important research that focusses on a neglected part of women's lives, and an underused dataset! Secular trends in #menopause in #LMICs gh.bmj.com/content/8/6/e0123…

Paying attention to the methods we use to ask communities about what they would like to see from interventions may be just as, if not more, important than the answer to the question itself.

Our paper on co-designing a #TheoryofChange for preventing #ViolenceAgainstWomen in Samoa is out now! We discuss the co-design process, its challenges and opportunities, and outline 3 key recommendations:

1/8 Our paper now available in the Journal of Climate Change & Health explores perspectives on #gender & #environmentalhealth in #Peru, finding that while there is recognition of gendered impacts, concrete actions to address them are lacking. doi.org/10.1016/j.joclim.202…
7/8 We highlight the need for an intersectional feminist approach to ensure that the needs, experiences &knowledges of diverse communities, particularly those who face multiple&compounded forms of oppression are centred & to empower women & communities to find their own solutions
8/8 We call for greater collaboration between policymakers, academics, and advocacy groups to advance gender-sensitive (and ideally gender-transformative) and structural #environmentalhealth initiatives in Peru and beyond @Osahermosa2010 @BillieMelluish @VictoriaCavero4

Climate change is increasing the vulnerability of some people to #HumanTrafficking.
In 2021, 23.7 million people were internally displaced by disasters, while many crossed borders to escape climate-induced poverty.

Working with emotionally difficult data eg #GBV #racism #discrimination #death etc? Check out @itzelsanroman 's viewpoint on research-related trauma where we argue that making research work psychologically safe requires structural changes in academia tandfonline.com/eprint/YEHYR…
