Foundations of Primary Prevention of Violence Against Women - West Perth
Event description
Foundations of Primary Prevention of Violence against Women
2 x Half-Day Workshops
Men's violence against women is a serious, widespread, and growing problem in Western Australia. In fact, WA now receives the second highest number of incident reports, of all Australian states, of men using violence against women; an increase of 30% over the past 5 years (WA Police). However, there are simple steps we can ALL take to prevent it.
Preventing Violence Together (PVT) invites you to learn about how you can play your part in ending men's violence against women by attending one of our upcoming Foundations of Primary Prevention of Violence Against Women workshops.
About this training
This training is based on the Australian national Change the Story framework for preventing violence against women, developed by Our Watch. It includes a range of interactive activities and resources.
