Our Work

Our interdisciplinary collection of faculty and students collaborate on women’s health scholarship, education, and clinical practice relevant to global issues.

Faculty practice and programs of research use a health equity framework with a focus on social justice. On this page you can navigate through the Center for Global Women’s Health’s ongoing work, which ranges from research topics, international projects, and publications.

 

It’s On Us PA

The Center has been awarded funding from the Governor’s It’s On Us program, a statewide campaign that invites everyone to play a role in ending sexual assault. We are excited about the opportunity to engage with high school students and continue our partnership with The Netter Center for Community Partnerships.

Purpose: to use a peer-to-peer training model to facilitate a sexual violence bystander intervention to high school students.
