The aim of the Network is to bring together academics and postgraduate research students, practitioners and policy makers from across the island of Ireland, working in the area of sexual violence.
The network is also associated with a wider research partnership between Ulster University and the University of Galway: COSHARE (Consent, Sexual Violence, Harassment, and Equality in Higher Education) Stakeholder Network. COSHARE aims to produce an all-island approach to consent, sexual violence and harassment (C-SVH) research and practice in Higher Education.
