Specific crimes that occur in our society are experienced disproportionately by women and girls, including crimes such as rape, domestic violence and homicide. We need effective, specific, and targeted solutions to address this violence against women and girls (VAWG). Solutions should recognise that these crimes are complex and involve intersecting and overlapping issues that cannot be effectively addressed by a single agency e.g., the police. The University of Leicester recognises its responsibility as a civic university to support its local communities to aid in the development of these solutions. The East Midlands Partnership On violence against WomEn and giRls (EMPOWER) will achieve this by drawing together agencies spanning criminal justice, health/forensic, local authorities, third sector/voluntary and survivors of VAWG, to develop a research strategy that will identify and unpick the key pillars of work needed to address VAWG in the East Midlands region. A key ethos to the project is the emphasis on co-design and co-production by all involved partners. What this means in practice, is that partners work together to identify the main challenges, questions and issues that affect their practice, supported by the expertise of academics from the University of Leicester. This engenders a shared vision for the partnership in working together to develop strategies that address these challenges, rather than privileging a view from one source (e.g., academia). Therefore, the outcomes from this project will be grounded in real world issues and relevant to those agencies that work to tackle VAWG, both regionally and more nationally.The work of the partnership will be delivered across a 9-month time period. Through a series of five themed workshops that will bring together key policing and multi-agency partners, core area(s) relevant to a range of topics (e.g., sexual violence, domestic violence, human trafficking) will be identified through discovery and co-creation methods. Following each workshop, a phase of Themed research activity, actioned through embedded researcher placements and postgraduate placements will provide preliminary answers to these core area(s) and unpack any issues that were identified from the workshop. Outputs from these phases will include short evidence briefings of findings drawn from this piloting/scoping work. At the conclusion of the thematic workshops and the subsequent Themed research activity phases, the project will move into a synthesis phase where the objective is to draw together and distil the learnings gained from these activities. A synthesis workshop with the partners will focus this work into developing two key outputs from the project: (i) a co-created research strategy that identifies the key priorities required to address VAWG in the East Midlands and (ii) a sustainability plan that outlines a detailed set of activities and research application plans for achieving future funding to deliver this research strategy. EMPOWER and the outputs it will produce are a critical opportunity to develop a structured and targeted plan for effectively intervening in VAWG in the East Midlands region, with opportunities to inform practice nationally. We know that experiencing violence has devastating impacts on women and girls, with ripple effects across their families, communities, and broader society. Domestic violence alone is estimated to have economic and social costs that exceed £66 billion each year (Oliver at al., 2019). EMPOWER represents a partnership of passionate and committed academics, practitioners, and survivors, who are ultimately dedicated to reducing the occurrence of VAWG in our society, and subsequently improving the lives of women and girls.

妇女和女童在我们的社会中遭受过更多的特定犯罪，包括强奸、家庭暴力和凶杀等犯罪行为。我们需要有效、具体的解决方案来解决针对妇女和女童的暴力行为 (VAWG)。这些犯罪行为十分复杂，涉及交叉和重叠的问题，无法由单一机构（例如警察）有效解决。莱斯特大学认识到其作为一所公民大学有责任支持当地社区帮助发展这些犯罪行为。东米德兰暴力侵害妇女和女孩伙伴关系 (EMPOWER) 将通过汇集刑事司法、卫生/法医、地方当局、第三部门/志愿者和暴力侵害妇女行为幸存者等机构来制定一项研究战略，以实现这一目标。并明确解决东米德兰兹地区暴力侵害妇女问题所需的关键工作支柱 该项目的一个关键精神是强调所有相关合作伙伴的共同设计和共同生产，这在实践中意味着合作伙伴。在莱斯特大学学者的专业知识的支持下，共同努力确定影响其实践的主要挑战、问题和问题，这为合作伙伴关系产生了共同愿景，共同制定应对这些挑战的战略，而不是特权。因此，该项目的成果将立足于现实世界的问题，并与那些致力于在区域和全国范围内解决暴力侵害妇女问题的机构相关。合作伙伴关系的工作将得到落实。在为期 9 个月的时间内，通过一系列五个主题研讨会，将主要警务和多机构合作伙伴聚集在一起，讨论与一系列主题（例如性暴力、家庭暴力、人口贩运）相关的核心领域。将通过发现和共同创造方法来确定。在每次研讨会之后，通过嵌入研究人员安置和研究生安置进行的主题研究活动阶段将为这些核心领域提供初步答案，并解开从研讨会中发现的任何问题。研讨会.输出这些阶段将包括从试点/范围界定工作中得出的结论的简短证据简介。在主题研讨会和随后的主题研究活动阶段结束时，该项目将进入综合阶段，其目标是汇总和提炼。与合作伙伴一起举办的综合研讨会将把这项工作的重点放在制定该项目的两项关键成果上：(i) 共同制定研究战略，确定解决东米德兰兹郡暴力侵害妇女行为所需的关键优先事项； ii) 可持续性该计划概述了一套详细的活动和研究应用计划，以获取未来的资金来实施该研究战略，其将产生的成果是制定结构化和有针对性的计划以有效干预东米德兰地区的暴力侵害妇女行为的关键机会。 ，有机会在全国范围内宣传实践。我们知道，经历暴力对妇女和女童具有毁灭性影响，仅家庭暴力一项就会造成超过 660 亿英镑的经济和社会损失。每年（Oliver 等人，2019 年）。 EMPOWER 代表了充满热情和忠诚的学者、从业者和幸存者的合作伙伴关系，他们最终致力于减少我们社会中暴力侵害妇女行为的发生，从而改善妇女和女孩的生活。
