Theme: What is violence against woman (VAW)?
Violence against women does not mean only physical violence. It is much broader and includes sexual, emotional, psychological and financial abuse. The National Plan targets two main types of violence against women – domestic and family violence, and sexual assault.
The VAW Conference on Women and Culture will engage participants from across the globe in the exploration of multidisciplinary topics such as social norms and role of women in cultural settings within various societies, the meaning of VAW in the past and modern societies, women’s contemporary and historical experiences, and the multiple social identities.
The VAW conference will include an intensive program, in the form of oral and poster presentations covering a very wide range of topics. In addition to this, participants will have an amazing opportunity to expand their academic and social networks during the sessions and the free city tour.
