The Eliminating Violence Against Women and Girls is a six-week initiative designed to educate, empower, and support local women in understanding and addressing violence and abuse in their communities.
The program allows participants to understand the language and definitions of violence and abuse, identify different types of abuse and recognize the signs, learn the processes involved in seeking help and support, share and reflect on personal experiences in a safe and supportive setting and explore themes of violence present in their communities and the wider media.
A highlight of the programme is the guest speaker who provides an impactful session complete with a Q&A addressing participantsโ concerns and providing clarity on what happens when abuse is reported.
This programme was recently trialled and was a tremendous success! We hope to further expand the reach of this programme, equipping women across our communities with the knowledge, tools, and confidence they need to combat violence against women and girls.
