15TH INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS FOR THE STUDY OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

The Regional Ministry of Social Inclusion, Youth, Families and Equality, through the General Secretariat for Families, Equality, Gender Violence and Diversity, is organising the 15th edition of the International Congress for the Study of Violence against Women, a forum for meeting, training and research on gender violence that has become a benchmark at regional, national and international level.

The sessions of this International Congress will take place on 6 and 7 November at the Congress and Exhibition Centre of Seville.

The organisation of the event is fuelled by the belief that ongoing and specialised training and information on gender-based violence, as well as the participation of different sectors directly involved in addressing this issue, is crucial for progress in the prevention, treatment and eradication of gender violence. These include professionals working in social promotion and protection systems, women’s associations, groups, social stakeholders and professional associations working in the different territories, universities and citizens in general.

During these two days, the scientific programme will be divided between presentations and thematic panels that will address aspects related to different thematic areas, which this year will focus on the common theme of “Gender Violence in the Digital World”.

As in previous editions, the aim is to delve deeper into the concept of gender violence through a holistic and multidisciplinary approach, examining its various manifestations and the different acts through which such violence is exercised.

The primary goal of this new edition is to address the concept of digital gender violence in its various forms, aware that virtuality is here to stay in our society. Thus, the aim is to identify the different virtual dimensions of gender violence and new digital challenges to eradicating gender violence in order to design strategies to tackle them and allow victims to defend themselves in such situations. The objective is also to continue increasing the awareness and participation of men in its prevention and eradication.

In the programme of this Congress, special attention will be given to children and adolescents, including a specific panel entitled “Digital violence in adolescence and youth”. Another panel will address comparative perspectives on addressing cyber gender-based violence. Moreover, bearing in mind that research is a key tool for developing effective interventions and policies to prevent and end gender violence, the scientific articles and best practices awarded prizes by the Academic Scientific Committee at the 14th edition of the Congress will be presented in public.

We invite you to participate in this 15th Congress and submit scientific papers to enrich the different experiences presented at this new edition. Likewise, we encourage you to take part in the debates on social media as they are crucial for achieving a multiplier effect.
