Mapping Your System’s Response to Violence Against Women

Based on the key interchanges between victims/survivors and practitioners, mapping is a critical tool of community assessment that can be used at any point of a coordinated interagency response to violence against women. It is particularly useful early on in Institutional Analysis to identify key points of intervention to be analyzed. The map provides a reference point to help guide the inquiry into where and how gaps in the response occur. Apart from a formal Institutional Analysis, mapping can also provide a catalyst to encourage intervening agencies to become more closely linked with one another and address gaps in practice. This webinar will feature how to conduct effective mapping exercises and how it can be used as a tool to bring key practitioners together to enhance coordinated community responses to violence against women.
