This year’s WAVE conference is organised by the WAVE office together with WAVE Member Fundacion para la Convivencia Aspacia from Spain, and will focus on the pervasive impact of institutional violence on women and girls, the different forms in which it manifests, and the key role women’s specialist services have in denouncing and undoing this type of violence. By looking at violence against women and girls through a multidisciplinary lens, the conference will focus on the link between institutional violence and state accountability.
