SUMMARY:Webinar: Create space for pilots and evaluations of community-led interventions | ANROWS
DESCRIPTION:This is the final instalment of our webinar series unpacking the ways of working and ways of knowing set out in The Australian National Research Agenda to End Violence against Women and Children (ANRA) 2023–2028. Funding has traditionally given preference to academic research\, however\, community-led research and evaluation play a vital role in identifying effective interventions for preventing and responding to domestic\, family and sexual violence. What is community-led research? Community-led research means that the research is undertaken by people who identify as being part of the population that researchers want to understand. Community members and/or organisations are involved in the whole research process\, from setting the research question(s) to data collection\, analysis and monitoring.\nJoin our webinar\, where panellists will:\n• Highlight the benefits and challenges of community-led research and evaluations\n• Discuss power imbalances in research and the importance of enabling communities to shape the research that reflects them\n• Discuss the significance of having community-based organisations and researchers to lead and inform the interventions and research\n• Explore case studies that are examples of good practice\nThe panel discussion will be followed with a live Q&A. You can also submit questions ahead of time when you register.\n\n\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:16 Days Regional Convening: Southern Metro Region | Safe + Equal
DESCRIPTION:The 16 Days of Activism is the annual global campaign to galvanise action against gender- based violence. Each year across Victoria and around the world\, communities mobilise and draw on their own strengths to stand up for respect\, and a world free from violence. \nFunded by Respect Victoria\, the 16 Days of Activism Grassroots Initiative aims to build the capacity of Victorian organisations delivering activities under the campaign\, by delivering consistent messaging\, facilitating connection\, and providing resources and support. \nThe 2026 campaign will build on the momentum of the last two years\, and respond to insights from campaigners around the benefits of connecting with other organisations delivering work locally. As such\, to kick off this year’s campaign we will be hosting ten online Regional Convenings\, to bring together organisations working in each of the nine women’s health catchments\, and one statewide event. \nThe purpose of these sessions is to share updates on this year’s campaign\, and create a space where organisations working locally can meet\, share learnings\, and begin to plan their 2026 activities. \nPlease register for the session for your region or local area. If you aren’t able to join on that date\, you are welcome to join the final session for organisations operating statewide. \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Exploring collective possibilities to STOP intimate partner homicide | ShantiWorks
DESCRIPTION:We want to learn together to create possibilities to interrupt conditions of entrapment and oppression in the lives of victims-survivors (adults and children) and intentionally share responsibility for intervening and responding to domestic and family violence risk and lethality.\nAt the time of writing this flyer\, in Australia 2026:\n•26 women have been murdered due to violence against women (Counting Dead Women Australia Project).\n•36 women and 15 children murdered “based on every known Australian woman and child killed as a result of murder\, manslaughter or neglect from White Settlement to now” (Australian Femicide Watch\, 2026). \nThis is the context in which we work. These murders highlight that there is a need for all of us to keep learning.\nThis workshop invites practitioners\, leaders and teams to come together to reflect on the systems we are part of and the role we each play in responding to domestic and family violence. Together\, we will explore the assumptions\, practices and organisational responses that shape our work\, and consider how they can either create realistic safety options or further contribute to entrapment. \nDrawing on Professor Jane Monckton Smith’s 8-Stage Homicide Timeline\, we will use stories of domestic violence homicide to deepen our understanding of coercive control\, escalating risk and the points where intervention might make a difference. Together\, we will explore what these stories teach us about working more effectively with victim/survivors (adults and children)\, holding perpetrators to account\, and strengthening our responses across services.\nBy strengthening our collective imagination and practice\, we increase our capacity to consider how we respond to victims/survivors\, perpetrators and families in ways that is dignifying for all\, increases the potential for realistic safety options\, and supports the work of accountability with perpetrators and intervening systems. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Online influences and young men: What adults need to know | City of Kingston
DESCRIPTION:Heard the term ‘manosphere’ and wondered what it means for young people? \nThe ‘manosphere’ refers to a network of online communities\, content and influencers that promote ideas about masculinity\, relationships and gender roles. While some content may appear harmless\, other messages can shape harmful attitudes towards girls and women\, relationships and identity\, influencing the way boys and young men think\, behave and connect with others. \nPresented by The Man Cave\, Australia’s leading preventative mental health charity for boys and young men\, this free practical session is designed for parents\, carers and positive role models. It provides clear\, balanced advice to help adults understand these online influences\, recognise the warning signs and respond with confidence. \nThe session will explore: \n\nwhy this content appeals to some boys and young men\nthe underlying needs that can make it appealing\npractical ways to start conversations without shame or judgement\nhow to respond if a young person is already being influenced.\n\nThis supportive\, evidence-informed session focuses on understanding\, connection and equipping adults with practical tools to help young people navigate the online world safely and confidently. \nThe event is free\, but registration is essential and places are limited. (This session is not suitable for people under 18 years.) \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Gender\, AI & Your Seat at the Table | Women in Super
DESCRIPTION:AI isn’t coming\, it’s already here. And as organisations across finance\, super and financial services race to embed artificial intelligence into their operations\, the decisions being made right now will shape who benefits\, who leads\, and whose voices are left out. \nJoin WIS NSW for an intimate online lunch and learn as we move the conversation forward\, from understanding gender bias in AI\, to what you can do about it. \nIn a candid in-conversation format\, Aubrey Blanche (The Ethics Centre) and Morgan Houston (Women in Super) will explore how women in our industry can stay informed\, engage responsibly with AI\, and\, critically\, ensure women have a genuine seat at the table as AI transformation projects are designed and rolled out within their organisations. \nWhether you’re already navigating AI adoption at work or wondering where to start\, this session is designed to turn awareness into practical action. \nYou’ll walk away with:\n• A clearer understanding of how gender bias shows up in AI systems and why it matters for super and financial services\n• Practical ways to stay informed and ask the right questions as AI is introduced in your workplace\n• Strategies for ensuring women’s perspectives are embedded in AI projects from the ground up\, not added as an afterthought \nBring your lunch\, bring your questions\, and join the conversation. \nSpeakers:\nAubrey Blanche – Director of Ethical Advisory & Strategic Partnerships\, The Ethics Centre\nA global expert in responsible AI and equitable systems\, Aubrey is currently studying AI Ethics and Society at Cambridge University. She brings both the gender equity lens and the practical organisational knowledge to help us move from concern to action. \nMorgan Houston – WIS National Board Director & NSW Committee Member\nMorgan brings a deep understanding of the Women in Super community and the financial services landscape\, ensuring this conversation is grounded in what matters most to our members. \nWIS Members \nAs a Women in Super member\, you can register for this complimentary professional development event by logging in to the Member Portal.\nOnce registered\, you’ll receive event communications\, including a ‘See You Soon’ email three business days before the session and a reminder on the day\, both containing your Zoom link and event details. \nRegister here
