Abstract

In March 2003 IPPF/WHR organized a regional conference in Antigua Guatemala that brought together individuals and organizations working on the intersection of violence against women and health in Latin America. That Conference brought together 43 participants from 13 countries representing 23 different organizations working on issues related to health and violence. Conference participants shared their work identified key recommendations and discussed remaining challenges and knowledge gaps about the health sector response to violence. This manual is an attempt to compile all of these materials into a single publication in the hope that IPPF/WHR can fill some gaps in the published literature and thereby help other health programs to avoid having to reinvent the wheel.
