Expanding Understandings of Violence Against Women

Dr. Andrew Gibbs
Senior Specialist Scientist, Gender and Health Research Unit, South African Medical Research Council

Dr. Andrew Gibbs is a senior specialist scientist with the Gender and Health Research Unit, at the South African Medical Research Council, where he works on the global DfID funded programme, What Works to Prevent Violence Against Women and Girls? He is the PI of the Stepping Stones and Creating Futures intervention trial in Durban, South Africa, and co-investigator on an evaluation of a violence prevention programme in Afghanistan. He also supports a number of other projects including in Bangladesh, and the evaluation of DREAMS in South Africa. He has worked on gender and health issues in South Africa for the past 10 years, and is interested in understanding why interventions succeed or fail, men and masculinities, and how economics shapes violence against women. His talk will focus on a number of new analyses that seek to expand our current understandings of violence against women, and the health impacts this has, drawing on data from across the globe.


This is a free lecture and is open to the public. The lectures are geared towards researchers, clinicians, students and hospital staff.

During the Canada Post strike announced September 25, 2025, the following measures will be undertaken to minimize service disruption to BC-CfE clients and providers.

  • The BC-CfE Laboratory has transitioned to private courier for delivery of outgoing reports and documents. Results required urgently can be faxed upon request. (Lab Contact Information: Phone 604-806-8775; FAX 604-806-9463)
  • The BC-CfE Drug Treatment Program (DTP) will fax outgoing forms and documents to the provider’s office. (DTP Contact Information: Phone 604-806-8515; FAX 604-806-9044)
  • St. Paul’s Hospital Ambulatory Pharmacy has transitioned to private courier for delivery of medications. We recommend requesting medication at least 2 weeks in advance in case of delivery delays, particularly to rural/remote parts of BC. (Contact Information: Phone 1-800-547-3622; FAX 604-806-8675)

During the Canada Post strike, we recommend that documents be faxed or couriered to our sites, versus utilization of regular mail service

The BC-CfE Laboratory is streamlining reporting processes for certain tests in order to simplify distribution and record-keeping, and to ensure completeness of results. Beginning September 2, 2025, results for the ‘Resistance Analysis of HIV-1 Protease and Reverse Transcriptase’ (Protease-RT) and ‘HIV-1 Integrase Resistance Genotype’ tests will be combined into a single ‘HIV-1 Resistance Genotype Report’.
