    This whole-of-university approach is not intended to replace or duplicate existing work. Rather, it aims to:

    • draw together the entire university community in a joint commitment to the prevention of gender-based violence
    • support a primary prevention approach in universities that is holistic and underpinned by a long-term strategy and sector coordination
    • highlight the role everyone within a university has to play in creating a culture where rigid gender stereotypes are challenged, gender-based discrimination is unacceptable and gender equality is actively promoted and modelled
    • provide practical tools and resources to support universities.

    Educating for equality draws on the national and international evidence base including Change the story – Australia’s national framework for the primary prevention of violence against women.
