Our Work

National Research and Knowledge Centre (Gender-Based Abuse)

The Gender-Based Abuse Research and Knowledge Hub is a collaborative initiative of Haven Horizons and the Technical University of Shannon (TUS), funded by the Irish Research Council’s New Foundation programme.

One of the outputs of the Hub is the researchgba.ie website, established to:

• promote engaged research and effective research translation in domestic, sexual and gender-based abuse
• facilitate collaboration between academics and practitioners
• allow for knowledge transfer from research that informs policy, practice and legislation
• contribute to a reduction in the incidence and impact of gender-based abuse in Irish society
