WONCA, The Global Organization of Family Doctors, needs your support to fund an ambitious project aimed at improving GPs' responses to Family Violence.
The project aims to create a free global e-learning programme for GPs, providing essential skills needed to detect and respond to Intimate Partner Violence.
WHO recognises that intimate partner violence and sexual violence - is a major public health problem, with 1 in 3 women and 1 in 10 men, experiencing such violence in their lifetime.
General Practitioners and Family Doctors are uniquely positioned to facilitate disclosure and provide support to victims of IPV.
However, they need proper training and education to overcome barriers and offer adequate care. Research has shown that IPV education in medical training improves physicians' knowledge, attitudes, and likelihood of identifying victims through routine questioning.
WONCA’s Global Violence Violence Initiative hopes to bridge this gap by drawing on our collective expertise to develop and implement an accessible and engaging e-learning programme for GPs around the world.
This project is a collaborative effort involving:
• WONCA Special Interest Group on Family Violence
• WONCA Working Party on Women and Family Medicine
• WONCA Young Doctors' Movements.
The project's ultimate goal is to empower GPs with the skills needed to address Intimate Partner Violence, aligning with WHO recommendations and contributing to global efforts to combat violence against women in an effective and cost-effective manner.
