Our Research

Consortium Colleagues from Insecurity Insight present a dataset comprising news articles containing instances of different types of
violent incidents categorised by the humanitarian sector they impact.

The Security Risk Management for Health Care manual has also been published in French and can be viewed here.

The handbook provides guidance on how to implement a range of actions intended to promote violence-free environments and prepare individuals or organisations to face and respond to violent incidents, also dealing with the aftermath of such events.

RIAH researchers present the qualitative study on attacks
on healthcare in Ouaka, Haute-Kotto, and Vakaga prefectures of the Central African
Republic, 2016–2020

RIAH colleagues publish on the qualitative study of healthcare workers’ experiences of violence and resistance after the 2021 Myanmar coup d’etat

RIAH colleagues discuss women’s experiences of insurgent warfare, with special reference to the conflict in Nepal between 1996 and 2006.

As a part of our data collection on instances of attacks, partners at SHCC produce an annual report on violence against health workers, facilities, and transport in conflict areas around the world.

This issue features two papers from the RIAH consortium: one on history writing and attacks on healthcare, and a second on our case study in Nepal.

The study aimed to measure how these attacks affected health care accessibility for pregnant women and children under five, employing a mixed-methods approach. The report is also available in French via IRC's website.

Results of our second study in Colombia show that impacts of attacks affect negatively the professional and personal life of the female workers and are aggravated by structural violence with little or no institutional response.
