Hi Akhil, I really like this report: thank you for writing it up here!
Something that I think could additionally add to the impact of VAWG (although clearly difficult to estimate/ maybe not worth it for a shallow dive) is the somewhat cascading/ generational nature of domestic violence and associated trauma– e.g. that if you experience more Adverse Childhood Experiences, your children are also more at risk for ACEs, etc.
It also has struck me before that social norms about VAWG/ intimate partner violence vary strongly across regions. I think social norms are very powerful; do you know of any charities aiming to shift social norms regarding VAWG/ intimate partner violence? (E.g. I’m thinking along the lines of narrative stories over the radio, but there may be other alternatives in this area).
