I specialise in research with persons impacted by violence and abuse (especially women and children) and have expertise in the promotion of children's rights at a global level. As Director of the None in Three Research Centre (www.noneinthree.org) I lead teams of researchers in seven countries to produce evidence-based interventions for changing attitudes and behaviours that contribute to relationship violence. I have led research in 19 countries and am a published author of numerous studies on a range of issues including child abuse, HIV-AIDS, children in armed conflict, children of prisoners, asylum seekers/refugees and, gender-based violence.
