The Gender, Health and Justice Research

The Gender, Health and Justice Research Unit at the University of Cape Town’s Faculty of Health Sciences (Division of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology) conducts progressive research in the area of women’s rights.  Faced with staggering levels of violence against women in South Africa, the Unit is dedicated to improving access to health and justice services for survivors of gender-based violence.  The Unit uses interdisciplinary methods from various academic fields including law, the social sciences, and public health to contribute to policies and laws and to advocate for social justice.
