INSPIRE Evidence lab

Where evidence inspires action

Driven by Data. inspired by action.

The INSPIRE evidence Lab works at the intersection of research and real-world impact. Our mission is to strengthen data and evidence on what works to end violence against children, women, and girls worldwide. Our primary areas of research focus are: 1) advancing measurement and data to improve our understanding of the epidemiology and health impacts of violence; 2) building and assessing the global evidence base for the prevention of violence against children, women, and girls; and 3) building tools to support uptake and implementation of data and evidence-based interventions to improve the health and well-being of children, women, and girls.

Our goal is to uncover foundational insights and practical pathways that can accelerate the translation of evidence into policies and programs, creating safer environments, stronger communities, and healthier futures for children worldwide.
