Research to policy and practice
These are concise papers that summarise key findings of research on violence against women and their children, including research produced under ANROWS’s research program, and provide advice on implications for policy and practice.
The research to policy and practice papers (formerly “Compass”) are the main resources from ANROWS research projects and are written in plain English.
They are designed to be useful to a wide range of stakeholders including policymakers and practitioners without a background in the area of study. The papers may include resources such as infographics and other visual representations of the findings.
