This one-day course is based on Change the story, Australia’s national framework to prevent violence against women and their children.

This training has been developed by Our Watch, the national body for the prevention of violence against women and their children. 

Please note: this training is not about how you can respond to women who experience violence or men who perpetrate violence. Rather, it focuses on how to change the underlying norms, practices and structures in society that drive violence against women. 

The workshop covers:

  • The prevalence and impacts of violence against women
  • The link between gender inequality and violence against women
  • What primary prevention of violence against women is
  • The evidence on what drives violence against women
  • The actions required to prevent violence against women and the role that everyone can play in prevention
  • Applying an intersectional approach to primary prevention work
  • Good-practice examples of primary prevention activities
  • Our Watch’s role in leading the primary prevention of violence against women across Australia. 

Who should attend?

This one-day course is for anyone wanting to lead change in the community, government and business sectors; cultural, faith, sports, education and arts organisations; and beyond!
