Gender and Violence: A Workshop on Research and Practice

Scholarly work and solutions in Mexico and other developing countries

Event Details:

Thursday, May 8, 2025 - Friday, May 9, 2025

Location

Gunn SIEPR Building

Mexico has seen unprecedented levels of femicides and gender-based violence in recent years, making it among the most dangerous countries in the world for women. Mexico's recent election of its first female president provides a unique window of opportunity to address the causes and advance potential solutions to this disturbing trend. The workshop will provide a platform for a science-based discussion about scholarly work on gender-based violence in Mexico as well as fostering a broader dialogue about violence in other developing countries.

The King Center on Global Development is hosting a two-day hybrid workshop, led by Beatriz Magaloni, the Graham Stuart Professor of International Relations in the Department of Political Science, to bring together practitioners and the academic community with a demonstrated interest in gender-based violence in the developing world. The event will also provide a platform for voices that have historically been silenced by gender-based violence and impunity in Mexico.

Registration is by invitation only. Please contact Kim Juárez Jensen, kimaje@stanford.edu, to request to be added to the invitation list.
