Using research and innovative technology to prevent gender-based violence One in three women and girls experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. The None in Three Research Centre aims to turn the tide on this global problem, with research that confronts negative gendered attitudes, increases awareness of gender-based violence and aims to empower victims. Research has been conducted in five countries with survivors and perpetrators of genderbased violence. The findings have been used to create educational and culturally appropriate video games. JESSE, the first game developed, is an educational intervention which raises awareness of domestic violence and seeks to change the attitudes and behaviours that contribute to it.
