The Pacific Islands have some of the highest documented rates of domestic violence globally, with evidence indicating that up to 68% of women in the region–twice the global average–have reported experiencing physical or sexual violence by a partner in their lifetime. Learn more about Zainab’s research with the Beyond Legislation Project, analyzing the implementation of two domestic violence laws with the aim to understand the knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, and interactions with these laws to strengthen and improve protections for people experiencing domestic violence in the South Pacific.

Since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, a majority of the population has experienced prior infection and subsequently been vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2. With the dominance of Omicron and its sub variants introduced in 2022, it is imperative that factors influencing susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection and the risk of severe disease are explored. Learn more about Arleth’s research from an ongoing, community-based, household transmission study located in Managua, Nicaragua, with the aim to understand the effects of prior-infection induced immunity on transmission as well as the contribution of individual behaviors, vaccination status, and clinical symptoms of household contacts on SARS-CoV-2 household transmission.
