Join IFAS as they explore the latest research and data on strangulation and what this tells us about the prevalence, experiences and understanding of strangulation within different contexts amongst young people. 

You will hear about the political efforts taking place to address gender based abuse amongst young people and how this will feed into the government's VAWG strategy.

IFAS will also explore the role of health and criminal justice in addressing strangulation amongst young people.

IFAS will also be presenting their findings from a large-scale survey they are conducting this summer, looking at the prevalence of strangulation within sex.
