Case Study on Tracking Research Influence on Gender-Based Violence Policy in West Africa and Latin America

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a global public health crisis and a serious human rights violation, impacting approximately 30% of women worldwide. This case study investigates the influence of research on policies related to discussing, addressing, preventing, and responding to GBV in West Africa (WA) and Latin America (LATAM). Utilizing the Overton platform, we conducted keyword-based searches employing Boolean search operators such as “gender violence,” “violence against women,” and “gender-based violence” within the “Search in Policy Documents” tab. Additionally, we conducted a distinct query centered on the UN Resolution 1325. Subsequently, the findings were analyzed across various dimensions, encompassing geographical distribution, policy topics, publication year, among others.
