WUN’s Global Africa Group has marked the publication of a collective work to critically examine development approaches in Africa. Drawing on workshops held in Ghana, Kenya, South Africa and Australia, the book—entitled Africa and the Sustainable Development Goals—will appeal to researchers and policy makers interested in the African continent and its global connections. Editors Maano Ramutsindela and David Mickler, who were also the inaugural co-chairs of the Global Africa Group, joined with some of the book’s contributors and members of the GAG in November 2020 to discuss the significance of their research and the collaborative model that underpinned it.
Intimate partner violence is shockingly widespread: the WHO estimates that, as a global average, one in three women have experienced violence from a male partner or former partner. In addition to its direct impacts, intimate partner violence can cause chronic physical and mental health conditions, particularly where abuse is persistent and repeated. These effects can endure well after the violence has ended. To improve the services provided to survivors of intimate partner violence, a new WUN research team is exploring its mental health aspects and what practitioners can do to help.
