Educating for equality – resource

Educating for Equality aims to provide Australian universities with a whole-of-university approach that can help guide, support and build upon existing work to promote gender equality and prevent gender-based violence.

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.

Watch: Webinar – Universities as workplaces
