The Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) and the Centre for Global Health at the University of Oslo proudly co-host this Oslo Peace Days seminar in honour of the Nobel Peace Prize 2018. Distinguished guest Dr. Christine Amisi will speak about her experience as a medical doctor at Panzi Hospital, where she works with Nobel Laureate Dr. Denis Mukwege.
Dr. Amisi is also a principle researcher at the International Centre for Advanced Research and Training. She has collaborated with PRIO researchers aiming to analyze the socioeconomic effects of support programs for survivors of sexual violence in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
After Dr. Amisi presents, a panel of experts will discuss and share their views and knowledge on this research topic.
