Research

We conduct evidence-based research to improve the lives of people affected by extreme violence in some of the world’s most challenging environments. With roots in international clinical research and long-standing partnerships in conflict-affected communities, we generate findings that inform policy, strengthen programs, and directly improve survivor outcomes.

What Makes Us Different

• Impact-Driven: Research is designed around the needs of survivors—not donors, institutions, or academic agendas.

• Evidence for Action: We evaluate programs to ensure what’s delivered is effective, culturally relevant, and safe—providing proof where it’s missing and strengthening existing initiatives.

• Locally Led: We only work where we’re invited and collaborate with community partners at every step, from research design to implementation and analysis.

• Context-Specific: Our methods adapt to the realities of low-resource and conflict settings, prioritizing validity, ethics, and practical application.

Our goal is simple: ensure that responses to violence genuinely help those they aim to serve—today and for generations to come.
