Dear Colleagues-
Happy New year to all of you!
Further to the message from Martin Dufresne, I would like to add
that Tanis Day's work on the health-related costs of violence against women
was originally done in the early 1990s under contract to the Canadian
Advisory Council on the Status of Women , which had its funding cut just as
the report was finished. In it she pioneered the methodology on the
economic costs of violence which has formed the basis for subsequent work
in Canada. The version that was published by the Centre for Research on
Violence is, in fact, only a very abbreviated portion of the original work.
I am currently coordinating two projects on the economic costs of
violence in which Dr. Day is involved. One is a report on the economic
costs and consequences of child abuse in Canada funded by the Law
Commission of Canada. The other is a project on the prevention of violence
against women funded by the Canadian International Development agency. This
work is being undertaken in partnership with colleagues at the University
of Costa Rica, and one of its objectives is to adapt the economic costs of
violence methodology to the Costa Rican context.
There are a number of economic costing studies that have been done
around the world. I would be happy to send a bibliography to anyone who is
interested.
Best Wishes-
Katherine McKenna
