Operating as a research initiative in the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG), this initiative is composed of an interdisciplinary group of scholars across the University of Michigan. This group coalesced in 2017 out of desire to better understand the enduring problem of gender-based violence. The group promotes practitioner-scholar collaboration on gender-based violence and sexual harassment.
