MAEVe: Melbourne research Alliance to End Violence Against Women
The Alliance involves a collaboration with GP Practice and Primary Care with Professor Cathy Humphreys from Social Work and Professor Kelsey Hegarty from General Practice as co-leads.
It strives to make a difference to the lives of women and children affected by abuse and violence. Preventing and responding to violence against women and children is not the domain and responsibility of any one discipline. The Alliance brings together researchers from a variety of disciplines throughout the University of Melbourne in order to tackle this complex and challenging problem.
Three strands underpin the Alliance’s research program
- Understanding the dynamics of intimate partner violence
- Early identification through primary health care
- Innovative integrated responses for vulnerable groups
