Gender Based Violence Research Priorities: Results from a Research Prioritization Survey and Key Informant Interviews

The Irish Consortium on Gender Based Violence (ICGBV) and University College Dublin (UCD) partnered to conduct a research prioritization exercise. The prioritization aims to understand ICGBV members’ research priorities across a variety of issues related to GBV. The first component of the prioritization research was to administer a survey to all ICGBV member organisations. The survey was developed by drawing on existing literature on GBV research and priorities, and with input from ICGBV’s Learning and Practice group and Secretariat. Following the survey, eight (8) Key Informant Interviews were conducted. These interviews involved gender experts from ICGBV organisations, and sought to triangulate and contextualise the findings from the survey. The interviews also served as a guide provide suggestions for a research strategy.
