Challenges and opportunities to prevent violence against women in practice

Explore the challenge and opportunities of undertaking action that seeks to transform gender norms, practices and structures in order to prevent violence against women and promote gender equality. 

About this workshop:

This full day masterclass aims to build participants’ confidence and skills to undertake effective gender transformative practice as part of their primary prevention and gender equality work. This workshop explores the key theoretical principles underpinning gender transformative work, reflecting on their own practice and experience. Participants are supported to unpack some of the key challenges to putting this work into practice and will work together to explore opportunities to overcome these challenges. While there is no step-by-step process to undertaking gender transformative practice, the workshop aims to support practitioners to develop the critical thinking and reflection skills required to incorporate a gender transformative lens to their practice.

The workshop covers:

  • the theoretical framework underpinning gender transformative practice and how it applies to our work
  • applying an intersectional lens to our gender transformative practice
  • working with men in transforming masculinities
  • practitioner care and self-care
