Biography

Janet Gruber is a social anthropologist, a development practitioner, and academic. In a career spanning 25 years she has worked on VAWG prevention and response, gender equality, health and rights, and access to justice. Janet has worked in humanitarian emergencies, in conflict and fragile state environments, and in development settings.

"This is a ground-breaking book that challenges the VAWG prevention and response orthodoxy. Evidence from the online-surveys, field work and document reviews are used to build a VAWG Prevention and Response Framework that can be adapted and applied across sectors, in both development and humanitarian emergency contexts. Case studies from across the world provide detailed examples of what works, focusing too on what does not and the blinkered gender-blind approaches that are too often applied." -- Maureen Leah Chirwa, Health Systems Research and Management Specialist, founder of a woman established research firm, Prime Health Consulting and Services in Malawi
