Update: Postponed | Economic and social context of domestic violence

[Postponed until further notice!] The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the academic and policy interest in the causes and consequences of domestic violence. With this in mind, the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics (SITE) together with the Centre for Economic Analysis (CenEA) and the FREE Network will host a conference on 7 March 2022 entitled 'Economic and social context of domestic violence’.

[Update: 2022-02-28]

In light of the military aggression of the Russian Federation on Ukraine, the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics and the Centre for Economics Analysis, jointly with other FREE Network institutes, have decided to postpone the Conference on “Economic and Social Context of Domestic Violence”, planned for March 7th 2022, until we can be sure that our colleagues from Ukraine can safely contribute.

Anyone wishing to support most vulnerable groups in Ukraine can do so through the FREE Network partner institution in Ukraine, the Kiev School of Economics, here:
