This article by Dr Florence Baingana (also chair of our International Advisory Board) published in Open Access Government inspired our project profile 'Can mindfulness training in primary schools promote mental wellbeing in Sub-Saharan Africa?' also published in the same issue.

Whilst the project is not specifically researching violence against women or children, we will collect data from mothers and CAs on violence against women and children because it is an integral part of the context in which CAs live their daily lives.
