The first global dialogue explored emerging issues and challenges in the global efforts to end violence against women. CREA convened activists and grant makers who based their work on the understanding that women’s roles can be multiple and intersecting – as victims, survivors and perpetrators – and have used innovative strategies to deal with prevention and service issues. Participants articulated a complex understanding of the forms, causes, discourse and strategies to address violence against women.1
