Soziologie

On 26. September I presented - together with my colleague Dr. Allia Maralbaeva - the preliminary findings of our current study on “Ending Gender-based Violence in Kyrgyzstan” at the conference “Glocal Transformation in Central Asia” organised by the OSCE Academy in Bishkek and Friedrich Ebert Foundation Kyrgyzstan. The study investigates how the Spotlight Initiative seeks to stimulate ownership and agency of an array of state and non-state actors that are engaged in addressing domestic violence from an institutional and legal perspective. The research project is conducted in the framework of the postdoctoral program ”Institutional Change and Social Practice. Research on the Political System, the Economy and Society in Central Asia and the Caucasus" funded by the VolkswagenStiftung.
