This is a collection of Our Watch webinars on the prevention of violence against women in Australia.
This webinar draws on Our Watch’s national resource Changing the picture and has been tailored specifically to workplaces, to provide insights as to why there can be a lack of safety for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and communities, what drives this violence, and what you can do to provide a safer, more respectful and engaging workplace for all. A graphic recording of this presentation is available here.
Presented by Toni Hawkins, Practice Lead - Preventing Violence Against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women.
'Resistance shouldn’t put off any kinds of transformative work, because if resistance isn’t occurring, then we really have to wonder whether a change initiative is challenging power dynamics and the status quo.'
– Dr. Sarah Hewitt.
Hosted by Our Watch and facilitated by Natalie Wade, this webinar explores how prevention workers can plan for and address the resistance that comes with the transformative change process.
“The success of Australia’s efforts to prevent violence against women in part depends on the size and strength of the national primary prevention workforce.”
Our Watch’s Growing with Change: developing an expert workforce to prevent violence against women, a first of its kind evidence paper, describes the current national prevention workforce and proposes a conceptual model to increase its size, capability, and coordination at a national level.
This webinar introduces the Growing with Change paper, shares learnings about workforce development and explores opportunities to strengthen and sustain the Australian primary prevention workforce in order to end violence against women.
