<p style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;margin-top:10px">In March, the NHERI CONVERGE facility released a new educational tool for natural hazards researchers: Understanding and Ending Gender-Based Violence in Fieldwork Training Module.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;margin-top:10px">This online module, which was developed in partnership with The Fieldwork Initiative, describes gender-based violence in the context of field research. The module tackles misconceptions
about gender-based violence and provides real life scenarios and strategies for safe fieldwork practices. This course is part of a series of online training modules developed by the CONVERGE research team. These interactive, 30- to 60-minute modules cover
topics that support hazards and disaster researchers and research teams to conduct ethical and methodologically sound studies.</p>
