CARE Forum 2025 Willing, Capable, and Confident - Building Respect and Equality in the Loddon Mallee
Event description
Join us as we explore CARE Partner case studies and unpack key findings from the Willing, Capable and Confident- Men, Masculinities and the Prevention of Violence Against Women report with Tarang Chawla
and other leading violence prevention experts from Respect Victoria and La Trobe University.
In this 2-hour online, forum we will:
- Hear from CARE Partners as they present local case study examples of navigating community engagement (and resistance) and promoting staff engagement to activate Gender Equality Action Plans.
- Share key learnings from the 2023/2024 annual CARE Partner survey results.
- Explore Respect Vic’s Willing Capable and Confident report as a tool to reframe the Manbox statistics and reflect on men and boy's roles as gender equality advocates.
The CARE Forum brings CARE partners and allies together to share knowledge, skills, and collective approaches to ending violence against women in the Loddon Mallee.
