This webinar focuses on Gender Based Violence and looks to highlight both the breadth of gender scholarship and how it engages with women who experience gender-based violence at work. The discussion will centre on gender-based violence as an organizational problem, and raise awareness with colleagues about the importance of research as a way to empower women’s voices and break the cycle of abuse.
Some of the questions that the webinar will discuss are:
- What can and should organizations do to prevent gender-based violence at work?
- Following the motto of the UN to Unite and #NoExcuse: How can scholars unite to challenge, fight and prevent gender-based violence?
This session takes place on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

Speakers
Dr Caroline Rodrigues Silva
Dr Caroline Rodrigues Silva is a Lecturer of Organizations and People at Brunel University London. Her main focus is to understand how organizations can hold themselves accountable within an activist and collective rationality for structural changes in unequal societies.
In this myriad, acting against racism, gender violence through leaderships and organizations actively committed to social justice. She has organized and convened streams at Gender, Work & Organization (2023 and 2024), Decolonizing Workshop (2023).

Dr Anne Laure Humbert
Professor Anne Laure Humbert, PhD, is a researcher at the University of Gothenburg. Anne is very experienced in gender equality research at national, EU and international level, policy analysis and assessment as well as gender statistics. She specialises in applying quantitative methods to comparative social and economic analysis, particularly in relation to work and organisations, entrepreneurship, and work-life balance. Anne is a regular public speaker on gender equality and intersectionality, and she enjoys the opportunity to make connections between theory, policy and practice.
Anne has a significant track record of working on gender structural change in organisations, with recent Horizon 2020 projects looking at implementing gender equality plans in universities across Europe (GEARING-Roles); assessing the feasibility of an award/certification system for gender equality in Europe (CASPER); and measuring and addressing gender-based violence in higher education in Europe (UniSAFE, GenderSAFE).
Her recent methodological work has focused on the applications of intersectional multilevel modelling (MAIHDA: Multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy) to various aspects of social and economic outcomes of inequalities, and she is currently writing a book on the topic based on her experience of training other researchers on how to use this new approach to intersectional quantitative analysis.
