Driver 1 - Condoning of Violence Against Women

The gendered drivers of violence against women can be hard to swallow. How do they relate to those of us who do not use violence? What do they mean? By tucking in to each driver in snack sized, interactive sessions we can identify ways to be the positive social change we wish to see at home, at work and out in our communities.  

Let’s digest the gendered drivers of violence against women – one bite at a time.
