This article in Human Resources for Health draws on research conducted during the Capacity Project, the predecessor to CapacityPlus.

Workplace violence has been documented in all sectors, but female-dominated sectors such as health and social services are at particular risk. This article reexamines a set of study findings that directly relate to the influence of gender on workplace violence, synthesizes these findings with other research from Rwanda, and examines the subsequent impact of the study on Rwanda’s policy environment.
