Raising Expectations: Scrutinising Violence Against Women Policies using the WHO Respect Women Framework as a Measurement Tool.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Violence Against Women is a human rights issue that impacts approximately 30% of women and girls worldwide (WHO, 2021). The increase of Violence Against Women cases and a disregard for relevant data have become a cause for concern for women, minority groups and the criminal justice community. This research examines the response to VAW and use of VAW policy through the questions “What measures have Ireland, Canada, and Australia taken to address and reduce Violence Against Women?” and “To what extent do Violence Against Women policies and measures in Ireland, Canada, and Australia meet the WHO Respect Women Framework’s criteria for success?” Using documentary analysis, a comparative approach and secondary data, the study examines the measures Ireland, Canada, and Australia have taken to address and reduce Violence Against Women under their respective Violence Against Women policies. This research applies the WHO (2019) Respect Women Framework to Violence Against Women policies in Ireland, Canada, and Australia to understand the extent frameworks addressing Violence Against Women are adopted to policies. The findings suggest that Ireland, Canada, and Australia have taken several measures to address and reduce Violence Against Women under their current Violence Against Women policies. However, due to Canada’s policy being implemented five years before Ireland and Australia, more measures were evident in Canada. The research found that according to the twenty-two recommendations to address and reduce Violence Against Women under the Respect Women Framework, Ireland met sixteen requirements, Australia met fifteen and Canada met ten. The study suggests that there are several discrepancies between measures taken to address Violence Against Women, Violence Against Women policies and the risk factors associated with Violence Against Women and makes several recommendations to bridge this gap.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
