20 years ago, the study Candies in Hell was carried out in León, Nicaragua, and revealed that 1 out of every 2 women had experienced physical violence by an intimate partner. The study helped support the passage of the first law against domestic violence in Latin America. In 2016, a new follow up study, Candies in Hell +20, was carried out in León using the same methods to see if the prevalence of violence against women had changed. The results showed enormous reductions in physical and emotional violence by partners, whereas sexual violence by partners stayed the same. The study also found a very high prevalence of sexual violence by non-partners.

Join a webinar presentation and discussion of the results from Candies In Hell +20 and lessons learnt from 30 years of research and activism, including reflections from the women's movement. English and Spanish translation provided.

In 2019, the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action, Save the Children and the Child Protection Area of Responsibility published Unprotected, a report exposing shortfalls in humanitarian funding for child protection. With the global COVID-19 pandemic exacerbating risks to children’s protection it has become imperative to get an updated picture of state of child protection funding in humanitarian contexts, based on the latest data, including initial funding within COVID-responses. This month, they will launch a new report, Still Unprotected. 

This event will launch the new report and discuss its critically important findings.
