Turn your knowledge into Action. This was our premise for the first interdisciplinary COVIOCRIM training courses for first responders of VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls) that took place in Batumi and Zugdidi (Georgia) from September 30th to October 4th.

The everyday lives of women in informal settlements in Ethiopia and Mozambique are the focus of the research project "Strengthening Research and Educational Competences of HEIs for Gender sensitive Urban (InfoRmal Settlement) Transformation" (GIRT). Using transdisciplinary methods, a participatory process is to be developed with local stakeholders in four selected cities to improve the living conditions of women. At the same time, the project will address how transformative, knowledge-led cooperation between societies and science is possible in the context of the Global South.
