Briefings

This is a series of short briefings intended for a diverse audience to rethink policy and practice during the COVID-19 crisis and beyond. Our main focus is on stakeholders from the world of work (companies, employers, business associations, managers and team leaders, workers and trade unions). Briefings will be relevant for the policies and actions of international organisations, government agencies, NGOs and domestic violence support organisations. We have written these briefs out of a concern for the need for urgent policy and workplace responses in the light of the COVID-19 crisis. We also believe that the crisis has opened up a possibility to genuinely change the way we address domestic violence. Please share these briefings with your networks. They are open source, but we would be grateful for acknowledgment or citation of the briefings as appropriate. If you have any suggestions about other briefings please e-mail us at bmacquar@uwo.ca.
