None in Three (Ni3)

Description

There exists much research in the area of gender-based violence, but Ni3 is notable in its emphasis on the prevention of such violence and its innovative approach of developing evidence-based anti-violence video games to use as educational tools. The Centre provides a home for researchers engaged in GBV prevention research as well as its current core projects.

The None in Three Centre (Ni3) is pioneering new ways to tackle gender-based violence (GBV) across the globe. Its aims are to:

• Investigate forms of violence against women and children in its study countries (currently India, Jamaica, Uganda, the UK and Brazil).
• Develop serious prosocial computer games to change attitudes and behaviours relating to GBV.
• Evaluate the games’ effectiveness as educational interventions to prevent violence.
• Develop a policy hub to inform and guide actions at the strategic and operational levels across its study countries.
• Underpin and reinforce social and behavioural change.
