Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) - Free Misogyny webinar


 

Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) - West Midlands Violence Reduction Partnership (westmidlands-vrp.org)

The webinar above and accompanying reflective workbook has been specially designed by experts in the field of VAWG to help both professionals and practitioners to improve their understanding of the complex and intersecting factors that underpin and drive gender based violence.

The principle aim of these resources is to not only improve knowledge and understanding of critical issues, but also help those who access the webinar to consider how to create safe, non-judgemental spaces to educate young people, in particular, young boys and men, about gender-based violence in a way that challenges harmful belief systems and ideologies.
