Dorothea Ernest Malleyeck

I am a member of the Development Research Group and a Ph.D. candidate at the Graduate School of the Social and Behavioural Sciences at the University of Konstanz. Previously, I completed MA in Economics at the University of Dar es Salaam. I have 12 years of experience working with NGOs and INGOs focusing on ending violence against children, empowerment, and building agencies for girls and young women, SRHR, and HIV/AIDS.

My research interest focuses on violence, violence against children, the economic cost of violence, and interventions to end violence.
