Gendered workplace violence (WPV) is a pervasive yet under-acknowledged form of structural harm that deeply affects the health workforce. Without survey designs that are gender-responsive, trauma-informed, and attentive to intersecting inequalities, measurement of the extent and consequences of  WPV will remain under-estimated and hidden from view.

Held on the occasion of the 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗩𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻, this webinar convened by the 𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘂𝗺 aims to explore what it means to conduct quantitative surveys on gendered workplace violence in primary health care settings.

Drawing on the experience of research teams in Burkina Faso and Tanzania, panelists will examine how to conduct contextualised research embedded in the ethos of ‘do no harm’ focusing on trauma-informed approaches spanning survey planning, stakeholder engagement, training, data collection, and debriefing.

Gendered workplace violence is a pervasive yet under-acknowledged form of structural harm that deeply affects the health workforce. It undermines the safety, well-being, and agency of primary health care workers, and erodes the resilience and responsiveness of PHC systems. Despite its prevalence and impact, evidence summarising how global and African policy frameworks address WPV and its gendered dimensions are limited.

In this context, the 𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘂𝗺, co-led by 𝗨𝗡𝗨 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵, is convening a webinar to:

(1) Share findings from a multi-level policy analysis on how policies recognise, define, and shape responses to workplace violence and its gender dimensions

(2) Reflect on how responses from key informant interviews illuminate and substantiate document analyses

(3) Discuss national findings in relation with the global and regional policy landscape to examine discrepancies and patterns of constructed ignorance

The CPIA II project officially kicked off in Burkina Faso in July 2026 with a co-creation workshop held in Dano. Bringing together health system stakeholders, community health workers, researchers, policymakers and partners, the workshop focused on strengthening digitized community-based surveillance and improving data-driven decision-making for maternal, newborn and child health.

Led by @UNUGlobalHealth and funded by UNU Global Health and International Development Research Centre (@IDRC_CRDI), CPIA II builds on lessons from the first phase of the project to support evidence-informed policy and implementation through collaboration with national stakeholders and communities.

@UNUGlobalHealth was pleased to co-host the official launch of Guardian Girls Malaysia (GGM) alongside Guardian Girls International (@GuardianGirlsX), UNFPA Malaysia (@UNFPAMalaysia), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (@ukm_my), and the Olympic Council of Malaysia (@olympicmas) at the Residence of the Ambassador of Japan to Malaysia.

Guardian Girls Malaysia is the national platform of Guardian Girls International in Malaysia, bringing together sport, education, community engagement and partnerships to strengthen the safety, confidence, participation and leadership of women and girls.

The event brought together representatives from government, the diplomatic community, the United Nations, academia, and Malaysia's national sports organizations to celebrate t the importance of working across sectors when addressing gender equality and creating safer and more enabling environments for women and girls.

The programme featured remarks from representatives of the Embassy of Japan in Malaysia, Guardian Girls International, National University of Malaysia (UKM), UNFPA Malaysia, and the Ministry of Youth and Sports Malaysia (@KBSMalaysia). A key milestone of the launch was the establishment of partnerships between Guardian Girls Malaysia and five national combat sports organizations creating a national platform spanning Judo, Ju-Jitsu, Silat, Aikido and Karate.

UNU Global Health looks forward to continuing to work with Guardian Girls Malaysia, UNFPA Malaysia, UKM, OCM, and other partners to advance gender equality and create supportive environments where women and girls can thrive, while strengthening collaboration across Malaysia and Southeast Asia towards a safer, stronger, and more empowered future for women and girls.

For UNU Global Health, this partnership provides an opportunity to connect evidence, policy dialogue and advocacy on gender equality with new partners and stakeholders in Malaysia.
