FCCV | WORKSHOP | Bystander Intervention to Prevent Gender Violence | Monday 20 November 2017 | 10am–3pm

[Edited extract from public address]

The workshop is a facilitated discussion, not a lecture. Highly interactive. Awareness raising is utilised to develop concrete options for participants to employ during a range of work or social situations – ranging from inappropriate comments to physical abuse. 

Additionally, workshops open dialogue regarding participant leadership around issues such as: the drivers of gender violence as it relates to unhealthy behaviour, sexual objectification of women, sexual harassment, battering and sexual assault.

Facilitator: Dr Ree Bodde, Program Director Think Prevent

Workshop Goals:
  • Raise awareness of participants about the level of violence against women in our culture
  • Challenge thinking by countering mainstream messages about gender, sex and violence
  • Open dialogue by creating a safe environment for men and women to share their opinions and experiences about these issues
  • Inspire leadership by equipping participants with concrete options to safely confront and interrupt abusive situations
Where: Victorian Council of Churches, Causeway House (Level 4, Chellew Room), 306 Little Collins Street, Melbourne
