Coercive control is when someone carries out a pattern of controlling and manipulative behaviour.

For older victim-survivors, this is sadly often committed by family members and caregivers.

If you're over 60 and experiencing abuse, call our free 24/7 helpline on 0808 808 8141.

Domestic abuse services are struggling to meet need since the pandemic and the cost of living crisis.

We must quit lurching from crisis to crisis and establish sustainable funding through the Victims Bill.

Thank you Reeta Chakrabarti for this important story on lifesaving services.

6/6 In conclusion, achieving more coordinated and equitable ethics approval processes for global health research on VAW requires action at institutional, national and international levels. #EthicsInResearch #HealthEquity #DomesticViolence #DomesticAbuse

5/6 To address these issues, suggestions include redistributing power and resources, involving representatives from low/middle-income countries in funding agendas, and improving coordination between RECs and health authorities. #GlobalCollaboration #EthicalResearch

4/6 These challenges not only delayed research but also strained relationships between researchers, RECs, and funders. Many expressed frustration with the bureaucratic and lengthy approval process. #EthicsApproval

3/6 The findings reveal three key themes: power imbalances between high-income and low/middle-income countries, differing rules among RECs, and varied conceptualisations of VAW and participant vulnerability. #HealthResearch #EthicalChallenges

2/6 Using qualitative interviews and policy document analysis, they explored the experiences of researchers and Research Ethics Committees (RECs) from high-income, and low/middle-income countries. #ResearchEthics

1/6 Studying global health issues with diverse teams poses ethical challenges. The HERA team have explored the complexities of ethics approval for violence against women (VAW) projects across different country contexts. #GlobalHealth #VAW
