PATH is a non-profit international organisation working to develop sustainable and culturally appropriate solutions that allow the world’s communities to break with lasting cycles of precarious health. Through collaboration with different partners in both the private and public sectors, we assist in providing appropriate technologies in health and indispensable strategies that contribute to change the way in which people think and act. The work done by PATH improves the health and well-being of people around the world. With headquarters in Seattle, Washington, PATH has 28 branches in 18 countries. Currently PATH is operating in over 65 countries in the areas of technology for health, mother-child health, reproductive health, vaccinations and immunizations. PATH is the seat of the Technical Secretariat of the Alianza InterCambios, an initiative that brings together people and organizations in Latin America. We work in various spheres to tackle gender-based violence from a public health and human rights perspective.

Publications and other materials regarding violence against women and Women’s Police Stations:

	Ellsberg, Mary and Lori Heise. Investigando la violencia contra las mujeres. Managua: Organización Mundial de la Salud / PATH, 2007.
	This is a manual originally published in English by PATH and WHO. It was translated to Spanish by InterCambios. This document is used as the cornerstone for the Training on Research Regarding Violence against Women, which is part of an InterCambios programme. The manual serves as a guide for researchers, health professionals, human rights activists and teachers with prior experience in research that wish to learn more about how to adapt traditional techniques to the special issue of physical and sexual abuse against women. http://www.path.org/files/GBV_rvaw_complete.pdf
	García-Moreno, Claudia, et al. WHO Multi-Country Study on Women's Health and Domestic Violence against Women. Geneva: World Health Organization, PATH, 2005.
	This study offers data on how many women experience situations of violence, who they are and where they live. Likewise, it explores how the lives of women who live in or have survived situations of violence are affected, what factors may protect them, and which factors place them at risk. Also included are strategies or services that women may use to deal with violence. http://www.who.int/gender/violence/who_multicountry_study/en/index.html
