Violence against women is a global policy issue with significant social, economic and personal consequences. Prevention is the key to eliminating violence against women, yet discovering how to prevent gender violence has been elusive.
This study aims to discover how women’s police stations in Argentina respond to and prevent gender violence, and what lessons other countries can learn. The province of Buenos Aires has 128 women’s police stations that employ around 2300 officers who responded to around 250,000 cases of domestic violence, and over 7000 cases of sexual assault in 2018.
