Andre Rosay selected by World Health Organization as expert on violence against women
by UAA College of Health |
Andre Rosay, Associate Dean in the College of Health, has been selected by the World Health Organization to serve as an expert on its Technical Advisory Group on Violence against Women Prevalence Estimation and Data.
The World Health Organization, as part of a United Nations initiative, coordinates the production and update of inter-agency estimates on the prevalence of violence against women (specifically physical, sexual, and psychological violence). This work supports the United Nations goal to “eliminate all forms of violence against all women and girls in the public and private spheres, including trafficking and sexual and other types of exploitation.”
Rosay was selected because of his expertise in survey development, measurement, survey implementation and administration, analysis, and dissemination. As the inaugural principal investigator for the Alaska Victimization Survey, he has extensive experience conducting state and regional surveys of violence against women in Alaska.
"I am delighted to serve with the World Health Organization to support the United Nations work to eliminate violence against women and girls from all public and private spheres," said Rosay. "This will be an important opportunity to showcase how victimization surveys such as the ones I have conducted in Alaska and with tribal nations throughout the United States can be used to effectively guide policy and practice to end the global epidemic of gender-based violence."
At the national level, Rosay served as a Visiting Executive Research Fellow with the National Institute of Justice to lead its analysis of the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey. He also served as a Senior Research Analyst to develop the National Institute of Justice baseline survey of violence against Indian women living in tribal communities.
