Researchers and activists from the British Sociological Association's Violence Against Women Study Group focus on the connections between research and the development of strategies for change at the local, national, and international levels by citing examples of policy-relevant feminist research rooted in both academe and activism. Among their topics are strategy and tactics for influencing the state provision of counselling for survivors, pornography and violence against women on the Internet, and sexual violence and the school curriculum.
