This scoping study on violence against women was commissioned to help inform the BIG Lottery Fund of potential areas of intervention. The scoping study was conducted in spring 2012 and involved two key research tasks: a literature review of existing evidence; and interviews with key stakeholders engaged in the provision of services aimed at combating violence against women. The study sought to identify evidence on the following broad issues: domestic violence linked to sporting events; violence among girls and young women involved in gang-related activities; domestic violence in pregnancy.

The project team also included Jude Bennington.
