Dr Istratii specialises in training Ethiopian Orthodox clergy on domestic violence and developing related multilingual resources.

The aim is to achieve a better representation of Orthodox Churches in debates around gender injustices worldwide and to foster a more collective pan-Orthodox response, while improving mutual understanding across Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Church traditions and communities.
