As part of the 16 Days of Activism, Bass Coast City Council hosted the “Men Supporting Safer Communities” free webinar. Dr. Michael Flood and Tarang Chawla discussed the positive role that men and boys can play in preventing and reducing violence, helping to build communities where women are safe and equal.
This webinar is the second in a series aimed at supporting the implementation of the ANRA, scheduled to take place throughout 2024–2025. The Australian National Research Agenda (ANRA) is a national framework produced by ANROWS that identifies what evidence is needed to end domestic, family and sexual violence (DFSV) and how that evidence should be produced. The ANRA can be used by people and organisations, such as researchers, funders, policymakers, services, survivor advocates and social impact organisations, to help grow the evidence base. The event focused on one of the research priorities set out in the agenda: Indigenous methodologies
In this webinar, Fiona Cornforth, Professor Juanita Sherwood and Dr Nicole Tujague discussed:
- Power and positionality
- Decolonising methodologies
- Connections and partnerships
- Strengths-based approaches
- Cultural safety
This webinar explores how practitioners can better support victim-survivors of intimate partner violence that includes abuse of family pets.
Content Warning: This webinar includes information about intimate partner violence and violence against animals. This may include sexual, physical and psychological abuse.
Practitioners strive to support all families in ways that are culturally appropriate and sensitive. However, in some situations, practitioners may feel uncertain about how to navigate cultural differences. This webinar supports practitioners to navigate conversations with children and families from cultures different to their own, and to maintain culturally sensitive practice.
