SIGRID & DAVID FOUNDATION

Sara Skoog Waller är fil.dr i psykologi och forskare inom könsbaserat våld vid Högskolan i Gävle och Nationellt centrum för kvinnofrid vid Uppsala universitet. Sara har en bakgrund inom rättspsykologi och hennes nuvarande forskning handlar om post-separationsvåld, dvs. det våld som ofta fortsätter i olika former efter att kvinnan har lämnat förövaren, t ex genom upprepade hot och stalkning, genom ekonomisk exploatering samt riktat mot gemensamma barn. Saras forskning är särskilt inriktad på hur förövare använder sina juridiska rättigheter för att fortsätta utöva makt och kontroll, hur myndigheter och rättsväsende kan bidra till eftervåldet och hur eftervåldet istället skulle kunna identifieras och motverkas. Sara anlitas ofta som talare, föreläsare och expert inom områden våld i nära relationer. Inom ramen för sin forskning samverkar hon med myndigheter, rättsväsende och andra samhällsaktörer i syfte att utveckla metoder och arbetssätt för att förbättra situationen för kvinnor och barn som har lämnat förövare. Sara Skoog Waller has a PhD in psychology and works with research on domestic abuse at the University of Gävle and at the National center of knowledge on men’s violence against women at Uppsala University. Sara has a background in forensic psychology and her current research deals with post-separation violence, i.e. the violence that often continues in various forms after the woman has left the perpetrator, for example through repeated threats and stalking, through economic exploitation and through abuse and control directed against children. Sara's research is particularly focused on how perpetrators use their legal rights to continue to exercise power and control, how authorities and the judiciary can contribute to the post-separation abuse and how post-separation abuse could be identified and prevented. Sara is often hired as a speaker, lecturer and expert in the field of intimate partner violence. Within the framework of her research, she collaborates with authorities, the justice system and organizations with the aim of developing methods to improve the situation of women and children after who have left perpetrators of domestic abuse.

Mångårig erfarenhet som legitimerad sjuksköterska inom psykiatri, förlossningsvård, neonatal intensivvård samt hälso- och sjukvård i kommunal regi. Jag har i mitt yrke mött våldsutsatta kvinnor och barn på olika platser i vården och har upplevt och identifierat områden där vårdens organisering, kompetens och struktur inte alltid räcker till för att möta och hantera målgruppens komplexa behov. Med detta som bakgrund har jag engagerat mig utanför mitt yrke för att skapa förändring och möjligheter för våldsutsatta i form av att tillgängliggöra specialiserad och skräddarsydd vård och behandling.
