I study the phenomenon of intimate partner and other forms of interpersonal violence, as well evaluate programs and interventions that aim to reduce gender based violence, by empowering women, psychologically, economically, socially, spiritually, to create conditions of safety in their lives. I am particularly interested in the design of multi-faceted interventions and programs to address violence against women in communities and cultures where there is minimal tradition of solving problems using formalized counseling services.
