This is a report by the United Nations Development Program, that provides Common standards designed and formulated to promote greater access to quality police and justice services for women and girls who have experienced gender-based or family violence. The Standards are intended to provide regional police and justice organizations with guidelines that can serve as a basis for their own approaches to addressing violence against women and girls and family violence, as well as strengthen their ability to positively influence the development and implementation of procedures followed by Caribbean States at the national level. 

Violence in the school environment remains an ongoing challenge in educational institutions globally. Restorative practices (RP) have been implemented in educational settings to reduce school violence and improve emotional wellbeing and group cohesion. This systematic review examines their effectiveness in the school context. Findings indicate that RP reduces violence, improves emotional wellbeing, and promotes socio-emotional skills. 

Intimate Partner Infiltration (IPI)--a type of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) that typically requires physical access to a victim's device, often manifests through digital surveillance, control, and monitoring. Unlike conventional cyberattacks, IPI perpetrators leverage close proximity and personal knowledge to circumvent standard protections, underscoring the need for targeted interventions. This paper, published by a group of scholars from three universities across the US, propose an Automated IPI Detection system that continuously monitors for unauthorized access and suspicious behaviors on smartphones. The paper's findings suggest that AID can serve as a forensic tool within security clinics, scaling their ability to identify IPI tactics and deliver personalized, far-reaching support to survivors.

The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) launched this toolkit, developed in collaboration with multiple countries, experts and the support of the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation. The kit, available in English and Spanish, includes key messages for health policymakers and managers interested in strengthening health administrative data on violence. Countries will be able to draw on a regional template for capturing data on intimate partner violence/sexual violence and care given to survivors, equipping health workers with practical tools to enhance the quality and consistency of the health system response.
